out, throw you down, push you inside train even if you want to
get down.

• When people are not able get down at Dadar, they depart
from their families, friends and relatives which is a troublesome
situation for them.
You may not be able to get down....
• While many people lose their slippers and shoes in the crowd,
cloths are torn, buttons are detached.
Chappal ?
Children and old people decide to use other
modes of transportation and leave the idea of
going by local.

• The suburban rail in Mumbai is one of the world's most crowded
railway systems, and acts as the city's lifeline. During peak
hours, one train carries close to 6,000 commuters, and more
than 7.5 million commuters use local trains daily in the city.
• Normally, it is said that external people / kids are the best
resources for re-engineering and ideas. So let me present before
you Mr. Rajesh Gangar, Creative Concepts and Mr. Subhash
Chander , IIT Bombay 4th yr civil engineering student to suggest
solutions.
Mr. Rajesh Gangar Mr. Subhash Chander
• A small baby elephant is brought from jungle to a circus. The
elephant is tied with a chain to a big wooden log. The baby
elephant struggles and put all its pressure to escape from the log
and chain for first 15-20 days.
• Now over a period of time the elephant has so much power that it
can uproot the whole circus forget the wooden block. But that
chain and wooden log is its mental state . It won't attempt
anything against them.
• The Great Indian Peninsular (GIP) Railway, came into existence
on April 16, 1853, when the first train on the Indian Sub-
continent steamed off from Mumbai to Thane. Central Railway
was carved out of erstwhile GIP Railway on November 5,
1951.
• Western Railway came into existence on 5th November, 1951
by the merger of its forerunner, Bombay, Baroda and Central
India Railway (BB&CI), with other State Railways viz.,
Saurashtra, Rajputana and Jaipur.
• The BB&CI Railway was itself
incorporated in 1855, starting
with the construction of a 29
mile track in Gujarat. In 1864,
the railway was extended up to
Mumbai.
• From initial both Central Railway and Western Railway are
being operated separately post independence.
• To facilate the book-keeping people are made to get down at
Dadar and change the railway company.
• Somehow the old fashion of getting down at Dadar
and crossing over the bridge is not reviewed. So,
avenue for re-engineering.
• Currently all the passengers
who want to go from Central
railway to any of western station
have to get down at Dadar and
vice-a-versa.

• This says that the crowd of 10+ stations have to board at single
station and crowd of 10+ stations have to get down at one
station. This is the source of congestion.
• An average coach would have 600 passengers.
• Around 30% get down/board resulting in 180 passengers
getting down/in from each compartment.

Other stations
• Junction could be provided between Dadar and
Parel/Elphinston Road for changing track from
Central to Western and vice-a-versa.
Model 1
• Train from thane going to Dadar and then can change track at
the junction between Dadar and Parel to shift from central to
Western Railway. Then it proceeds towards Churchgate.
Thane – Dadar Central – Junction - Churchgate
Model 1
• Another junction can be provided between Dadar
and Matunga as tracks run parallel for some
distance till Matunga.
Model 2
• Train starts from CST and can change track to Western Railway
after Dadar at this junction and proceeds towards Borivali.
CST – Dadar Central – Junction - Borivali
Model 2
• Train from CST arrives at Dadar. Guard becomes Driver and
driver becomes guard. So basically train starts moving in
reverse direction.
CST – Dadar Central, Guard Driver
Model 3
• It can change from Western to Central between Dadar and
Parel and finally go to Churchgate.
Guard Driver, Dadar – Junction - Churchgate
Model 3
• Train from Thane arrives at Dadar. Guard becomes Driver and
driver becomes guard. So basically train starts moving in
reverse direction.
Guard Driver, Dadar – Junction - Borivali
Model 4
• Now it can change from Western to Central between Dadar
and Matunga and finally go to Borivali.
Guard Driver, Dadar Central-Junction-Borivali
Model 4
• There is enough space between last track of Central railway
and first track of Western Railway. This space is not being used
for any significant purpose.
Model 5
Extended Platform
• A long platform can be constructed adjoining central and
western tracks. Now this platform can be made as terminus.
Trains from CST, Borivali, Churchgate and Thane will return from
this place on four designated different tracks.
• Additional tracks could be constructed between CR & WR to
facilate Terminus.
Model 5
• Extending platform no. 5 of western widthwise such that it
touches the platform (can be newly created) of central railway
one doesn’t need to climb the bridge.
• So this could result in 30% drop in congestion on Foot Over
Bridge.

Platform
• An Grade Separation / Interchange can be constructed instead
of junctions between matunga and elphinston road/parel at
ground if the space crunch does not permit so.
Model 7
• Roughly 18 lakh people get down at Dadar.
• It takes minimum 5 min to get over bridge & get down and
catch another local. Taking twice a day it becomes 10 mins
daily.
• Avg. income of Mumbaikar is Rs. 30,000 per month. Assuming
that he works for 8 hrs. a day and taking 20 working days in a
month. Each minute of person is worth Rs.
(3.125 = 30,000/20*8*60).
• For every person these 10 mins. wasted at dadar are equal to
wasting Rs. 7500 per year.
• Rs 7500 = Rs. 3.125*20 days*12month*10mins.
More than annual first class pass
from Borivali to Churchgate
• So changing down at Dadar costs Mumbai 1350 Cr annually.
1350 Cr Rupees = 7500 Rs. * 18 Lakh people
What can media do ?
• Keep the issue burning by editorials, views of readers on
organizing compositions.
• Also create public opinions through cartoons.
What can Radio Jockeys do ?
• They can built public opinion.
• More ideas can be forwarded.
Output – Uninterrupted radio listening while travelling in local.
What people can do ?
• Writing letters to railway beaurocrats and public servants.
• Can give their inputs to improve the plan
• Railway does a great job in Mumbai. Providing service
to 7.5 million people daily is not a small thing and
Locals are lifeline for Mumbai.
• Railway is doing a wonderful job. It’s possible due to
their dedication and commitment but due to pressure
of day to day work idea could have skipped their
minds.
