Mumbaikers protest against converting their affordable 8:24 am train to an expensive air-conditioned service.
Commuters in Mumbai's Bhayandar protested against Western Railway's conversion of their popular 8:24 am local train to an air-conditioned service, replacing a non-AC train. The change increased travel costs significantly and disrupted daily commutes. Western Railway defended the move, citing passenger demand for AC services. Heavy police presence was maintained to prevent disturbances. The railway introduced 13 new AC services, increasing the total number of AC services during weekdays and weekends.
