Central Railway's Decision Raises Badlapur Commuter Tension: No Extra Locals

• Badlapur commuters face severe overcrowding on local trains to Mumbai, especially during morning peak hours.
• MP Suresh Mhatre's request for more local train services for Badlapur was rejected by Central Railway.
• Central Railway stated adding more services is currently impossible as the Kalyan-Karjat route operates at 100% capacity with 242 daily trains.
• Additional local services for Badlapur can only be considered after the 3rd/4th line completion and Kalyan station yard remodeling.

Why It Matters: Badlapur commuters will continue facing severe overcrowding due to no new local trains.
