Ten commuter organisations have called for a `Wear Your White` protest on Thursday, to highlight their various demands over decongestion, priority to local trains and setting up of a suburban railway transport body.

“On August 22, all major railway commuters` organisations will be joining the `Wear Your White` protest to support the demands.
