Mumbai suburban rail, several thousand die every year.
More than any railway in the world.

Overcrowding[edit]
Due to its extensive reach across the
Mumbai Metropolitan Region, and its intensive use by the local urban population, the Mumbai Suburban Railway suffers from some of the most severe overcrowding in the world.
[15] Over 4,500 passengers are packed into a 9-car rake during peak hours, as against the rated carrying capacity of 1,700.
[15] This has resulted in what is known as
Super-Dense Crush Load of 14 to 16 standing passengers per square metre of floor space. Trains on the suburban line are on average more than 4 minutes apart, contributing to the problem of overcrowding. The impending introduction of new higher speed rakes may help address the issue.
Tourists[edit]
The local
Lonely Planet guide advises tourists not to travel between 6am and 9am on weekdays due to the excessive crowding.

Fatalities[edit]
On an average, about 2000 people die annually on the Mumbai Suburban Rail network: over the past 10 years (2002–2012), more than 36,152 lives have been lost on tracks and 36,688 people have been injured.[16] A record 17 people died every weekday on the city's suburban railway network in 2008.[17] One of the reason for accidents and deaths is overcrowding (see above). Another cause of death is passengers crossing the tracks on foot to avoid footbridges. Some passengers die when they sit on train roofs to avoid the crowds and are electrocuted by the overhead electric wires, or fall while hanging from doors and window bars. However, the fatality rates have declined recently. To reduce the risk of such fatalities, automatic doors will be installed on all rakes by 2016 along with longer platforms and more frequent trains.
Central Railways in association with a behaviour architecture firm deployed
neuroscience based interventions at the Wadala station, reducing fatalities by about 75%.
[18] Times of India carried a news item regarding the success of this experiment
[19]
Western Railway has pledged that its trains will stop running if "even a single person" is seen travelling on the roof.
[20]
In mid-2011 a
viral video depicted a youth performing stunts while dangling from the compartment of a
Harbour Line train.
[21] Following this, a boy was killed while imitating the actions performed in the video.
[22]
The Western and Central Railways have been using the Auxiliary Warning System (AWS), a type of
Train Protection & Warning System (TPWS), since 1996.

Terrorist attacks[edit]
The Mumbai Suburban Railway has suffered 8 blasts and around 368 people are believed to have died as a result.
All in all, their lives are valueless to those overseas Indians.
That's why they keep saying like they don't need better railway, current colonial one is good enough.
