A new foot-over-bridge (FOB) built at the Asangaon railway station after dismantling the old one has become more of a trouble for daily commuters than a convenience. Not only is the new bridge at a distance from the main access (entry/exit) point, it also doesn't land on the road. In an audit of railway bridges conducted in 2017, mid-day had pointed out the same issues but there has been no change of plan. Commuters have sent a petition to the Central Railway (CR) saying that a new bridge should be built exactly at the spot of the old one.

"It is completely unfair. The new bridge has been built at a distance from the original one, which was there for over a century. This has led to a shift in crowd patterns and even the main entry/exit point, where the auto stand and access gate are, is far away from the new bridge," a commuter said.
