The railway planning head of Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) has begun a survey to count people using local trains, and will soon present the latest figure of commuters travelling on over 3,000 local train services every day. Senior railway officials believe that the current number of daily commuters is 80 lakh but the figure could be higher. When the last survey was done in 2006, the figure stood at 67 lakh.
