IR must understand that:
(1) The suburban traveller and not the IR, is the main sufferer of the "super dense crush" situation in Mumbai locals during the peak hours

People avoid travel during peak hours, if it is possible they prepone or postpone the journey by an hour or two.
(4) It would be in the interest of people, the companies whose employees commute by local trains, State Govt, as well as IR to study the travel pattern and stagger the duty hours so that the peak hour passenger load on local trains is distributed over to longer period. With the same facilities, the quality of travel shall improve and the locals shall be in a position to carry even more paxs during the day.
