Mumbai local notoriously known for its jam pack travelling experience may soon become spacious.The space will be created by modifying the seats arrangements and by reducing the width of motor coach.The lifeline of Mumbai having 75 lakh commuters may soon find some modifications to make it more spacious. On December 25th Central Railway rolled out the first train with modified seats which can accommodate more commuters. Recently Bombay High Court had intervened in matter and this step can be seen in anticipation of that.The seating arrangements are been made similar to that of the Mumbai Metro.One of the official of the railways said that motor coaches take up half of the coach space and technological there space can be made by decreasing the width of the motor coach and ferry a few passengers instead as these motor take almost 2 coaches space.It would be very grateful if these steps are taken as accidents in the Central line have become common specially during the peak hours.Lets hope for the best.This would be the best Christmas gift Mumbaikars will have.
