This an everyday affair for mumbaikar as the train passes through the beautiful sunset, just seeing this everyones tension goes down and sleep peaceful. The mumbai local specially western line runs from churchgate to dahanu road and while travelling through this route you will get the feeling of going from big buildings, stadium to paddy fields, salt pan and rich vegetation with a beautiful sunset and sunrise. For mumbaikar this locals are lifeline. The mumbai local starts at morning 3:45 am till night 2:00 am, through it carries many people including office goers, students, rich and poor people, everyone. The mumbai local consist of first class, second class, luggage, ladies compartment, handicapped. The sound of train are just melodious to the ears. In mumbai there are three routes for railway train which are operated by western railway, central railway and harbour line. The central railway extends from CSMT to Kalyan/ kasara / karjat. Harbour line is from goregaon to CSMT, CSMT to panvel. The main mode of transportation for mumbaikar is local train. For the first time in history the local train came to halt due to covid 19 which lasted for two and half months, but that not dampen their spirit and again started for essential worker. During rainy season when there is heavy rainfall, there is no stopping this train, but harbour and central line trains stop if the water level increase. 

     In this local train one can get cheap items including earphone, and many hardware items. Eatable from samosa to vada pav to aam to chikku and much more just to make your journey interesting

In recent year mumbaikar got a gift in the name of AC LOCAL to make your journey memorable with automatic doors, bigger windows, interconnected coaches, security and much more. The cost of this single journey ranges from 210-220 depending upon the km of the distance. 

    While for normal local train the ticket ranges from₹5 to ₹30 depending upon the km. This makes more and more public accessible to local train and is also time consuming. 

  Some of the busisest station are churchgate, CSMT, Dadar, Bandra, andheri, Borivali, kurla, virar, nallasopara, kalyan, thane, parel, etc. 

   For everyone staying in mumbai, they would have travel in a mumbai local once in a lifetime, just for joke. I think all of them have travel in this local many times. This local train always teaches us the lesson of not to lose hope., be calm, even if you start late in life you can still reach your destination in time. There is a different kind of attachment for all mumbaikar with this local train. 

        Mumbaikar chi shaan mumbaichi local, means mumbaikar proud is mumbai local.
