Mumbai Train Travel Myth & Cheat Codes

Season Ticket
Always see to that +2 stations are covered from your actual departure and destination stations. Most often the crowd will permit you to get down in the next station only.

Time
Always reach 30 mins earlier to the station. You will not get into the very first train that comes in the platform.

Fast Train
If fast train does not halt at your destination station and halts in the next station, go to that halting station and travel back. There is no harm in it.

First Class / Second Class
It’s a myth that First class is better than second Class. The number of first class coaches is only 2 or 3 in a 12 coach train. By permutation and combination they get crowded more than the second class.

Learn gymnastics
There is balcony travel in both fast and local trains. Soon there will be special tickets issued for that too. You got to wear electric proof clothes for that. Government will soon consider opening up FDI for the same.

More cheat codes are welcome.
