On Monday, when all commuters were allowed on suburban trains with fixed time slots, mid-day visited Ghatkopar and Andheri stations which integrate with the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar metro corridor, to see the response and arrangements. While passengers were happy to board trains, the authorities had taken strict measures to avoid overcrowding before and during the time slots, when the general public was allowed on the trains.

On the Ghatkopar suburban railway bridge that connects to the Ghatkopar metro, more than 10 to 15 ticket checkers were present in the morning to make sure that only essential services staffers took the trains. There were separate entries and exits to prevent overcrowding. There was a little rush near the ticketing counter on the west side. When the services resumed, there was less crowd at the station and on the platform.
