Commuters, particularly alighting and boarding local trains at Dadar railway station, seem to risk it all in peak hours. As Mumbaikars make their way from Western line’s platform number 4 to the staircase that will allow them to switch to the Central Line, a precarious situation unfolds.

The choke point seems to be this very staircase leading to the bridge that reeks of impending bodily harm for commuters, leading many to turn around and choose an equally dangerous solution — crossing the tracks to platform no 5 or getting out to Dadar East and taking a longer way to get to the foot overbridge.

Ascending and descending commuters, especially those left standing on the Churchgate end, seem to be bearing the brunt.
