STORYLINE:
Following the success of the air-conditioned (AC) trains in Mumbai, India's Western Railway (WR) is planning to add more local AC service soon to meet the fast growing demand.
Some of the new trains will serve on new routes while some others will replace the existing non-AC trains.
The decision came amid an ongoing debate about the need for more local AC trains in Mumbai after an incident of a chock-full AC train raised concern among the public and authorities.
The local AC service is popular among commuters in Mumbai. During the peak hours, the trains are jam-packed. According to the railway company, the number of passengers using AC suburban trains has increased seven-fold over the past six months.
