MUMBAI AC LOCAL TRAIN
Indian Railway started India’s First Ever Broad Gauge Air-conditioned AC EMU (Mumbai AC
Local Train) of 12-car rake fitted with Indigenous 3-phase Propulsion system on Western
Railway’s Mumbai Suburban (Local Trains) section on 25.12.2017. Following are the details
regarding fare, features, timings of AC EMU in Central Railway and Western Railway.
Central Railway : AC Local Trains
Central Railway runs a total of 1810 suburban services including AC locals. With the
increase of 12 AC services with effect from 14.5.2022 on Main line (CSMT-
Kalyan/Titwala /Ambernath) the total AC services (on weekdays) on Main line has
increased from 44 to 56. Now, Titwala and Ambarnath route passengers can also avail the
AC services in peak hours. Central Railway has decided to run 14 additional AC services on
Sundays and Nominated Holidays also.

I'm not telling AC locals are complete failure, If you watch till the end I have acknowledged that AC locals are getting traction and video id about why it took 5 years to become successful
Bro the title is a bit misleading
Actually The only constraint for AC Locals is Fare because Non AC is too cheap compared to AC so many people prefer Non AC
Most people who travel in Mumbai Suburbs are poor/middle people
If this ac trains runs in south india then it could be more successful
Your video itself starts with title why Ac local train failed… comeon you should have given title why AC local took time to attract more passengers… completely rubbish video
@@bigbullshorts-yt ruins?😀

Buddy, the AC trains are a hit on the Western line. I travel in AC trains everyday during the peak hours and it's full. I agree it may not have that many passengers during the slack hours, but it's packed. No, not everyone is without ticket, TCS are regular in these trains. Can't comment about the Central line.
It's also the same in the central line, after the fare reduction it is a hit now in peak hours specially. Harbours are failures and harbour people also don't deserve the AC train.
@@vikrantsatpute9984 yeah
I also travel by AC local. It's full in peak hours
@@vikrantsatpute9984 haha. AC trains on Harbour line have been canceled and all those have been moved to Western & Central. That's why we have more trains now. I have heard that they'll be introducing more trains on both the lines.
@@vikrantsatpute9984 why don't people from harbor deserve ac train?? (JUST ASKING DON'T GET OFFENDED PLEASE.)
Same here buddy!! You are absolutely right!
AC Local has not failed.
It may be struggling but hasn't failed. I have been traveling on the AC local since it's commencement on the central line. Since then it has gained momentum in increasing crowd.
Not all trains have bad timing.
The cost have reduced drastically.
I haven't seen any water leakage problem this monsoon yet.
There is a routine check by the TCs with a lady Railway Police constable.
This video could have been made on a positive note to encourage passengers along with the said criticism.

AC trains are great. They haven't failed whatsoever. I often travel in them & they're fairly full.
They failed on Harbor line. But that was because they launched it in winter season. You'd never know what response it would have gotten if it was started during summer.
It is not failed. People are showing great response now

@@daivikgautam9903 yes western line ac local are always full
as a regular pass holding commuter, I will never be able to travel without AC locals, the convenience is addictive. Don't know who told you it has failed, I see regulars like me on the train everyday, we plan our workday around the train schedule...
Mumbai AC local trains are in no way a failure. In fact the date that you mentioned, the trains run to packed capacity during peak hours. The user feedback is to increase the number of trains to at least double it.
I don't know which line this is but in central line ac local trains have been a huge success. People travel by standing during peak hours because there are no seats left.
Same in the western line during peak hours.
Its a shame that we dont have good public transportation in our financial capital
Even our tier 2 cities have better roads connectivity metros brts and rings roads than mumbai
Gladly alot of work has been done recently..so im happy that mumbai will get metro ..alot of bridges and flyover finally what its people deserves
Mumbai is Past
Navi Mumbai is future
@@31davidwarner only because Navi Mumbai has good drainage system. If mumbai had the same, it would be a game changer
New Govt has come
Things will work now for sure👍👍
@@magikarp1666 its not only drainage system.. mumbai will eventually add it as well..
But There was alot of mismanagement in mumbai in the past in every sector..and navi mumbai is like new age city
Navi Mumbai is way more organised..and mumbai looks shit crowded
I dont know any other metro city in india with as good public transport as in Mumbai still.
instead of having a full a/c train, they should consider adding a couple of AC compartments into regular train.
Yes i had the same thought every train should get 1 AC car. Byt then it will be challenge for them to air condition it i guess. But this should be the real thing
Ac train is due to safety. Daily 2-3 people die in Mumbai local. The door closing feature is for safety
Yes 100 💯 agreee
From a technical viewpoint that is a bit difficult as of now, but in the future we may see some
It will cause lot of chaos and confusion on the platform. Lot of new people travel in local train daily. They might make mistake of getting into AC coach as well.
Railways should introduce Air conditioned MEMU's in other railway zones .
This will not only reduce the burden on express trains which are overcrowded but will facilitate ease of journey for passangers travelling on short distance for 4-5hrs
Excellent idea. Pls tweet to RM
Second class and ticketless travellers will use AC Memu on other routes. Last Sunday I travelled in first class from Lonavala to Pune, 95/- ticket is cheap but it was a nightmare, all sorts of people board first class without any shame and worry. If you tell them this is first class instead of getting down they make fun of you. Even ladies first class was full of male tapori passengers. Even they board in AC chair car of express trains on Pune Mumbai route. These passages sit in front of doors and makes it difficult to deboard. There is no rule of law. I am going to write this to Railway Minister, unnecessarily Modi is saying Achhe Din.
@@vatsayana2004 only solution is access control entry into station.
@@riteshr9477 100% correct. I also to think and suggest railways to arrange first class coaches on one end of train only and that portion of platform should have access system like metro station with TC standing on every Station at that entry point.
@@vatsayana2004 even in AC locals, people without tickets board the train. It's almost impossible to separate such people from the eligible ones. Maybe AC locals will need dedicated platforms with fixed entry and exit points. But it seems tough to implement.
You can't say it's failed. It's doing reasonably good, specially in summer. Surely AC local racks will be more in future. Don't spread fake news on the basis of false information.
Read Pinned comment
Frequency badhegi aur ticket aur bhi affordable hogi to jarur success ac local hogi.
I have to agree.
This is the future of the Mumbai Local train. Like it or hate it but people will be forced to accept the change in due time.
Non AC locals will be slowly phased out as more and more Metro routes are made functional and the load on the Non AC locals decrease. So rather than saying it is a failure just say it is a change in the right direction to increase rider comfort and modernize public infrastructure. Initial response doesn't mean anything as slowly this is the only thing which will be available and the ticket prices will go down.
So yes, although the initial response isn't what Railways was expecting but there is no need to deem it as failure, as it is the future of Mumbai Locals.

All mumbai locals should have closing doors from safety point of view. AC locals have saved lives as people don't fall from these trains.
Timing is more important, I always wanted to travel from this train to my college, but at 6:25 AM the AC train travels from CSMT to Kalyan instead of Kalyan to CSMT or Karjat To CSMT, the timings and routes are completely insane
Local trains should get replaced by ac ones
By next 8 years
Are u mad buddy..
In Mumbai every one is not rich...
Local train is cheap public transport for middle and lower class people...
95% Mumbaikar can't afford that...
@@Vaibhavd416 if alot of people use this
And if this get great response then its price will get reduced that is for a fact
And will come down to only 2 or 3 times of normal local trains
Which ig 95% of mumbaikars can afford
And moreover no risk of dying..as almost everyday 8 people die from local trains on average
@@parthlm1073 Even if govt hike 10% rate for local train then Political party will face public anger in election....
That why even last lots of year Fare rate not increased for Mumbai Local...
And Most of death happened due to negligence while Railway Crossing....
Price is very sensitive subject for every Indian...
Stfp idiot not everyone comes from privileged like you majority of Mumbaikars who travel in trains are from middle class family
That's the plan. Also those commenting about price. It will get down
I am in Mumbai.
Simple reason :- why I not travel in AC local. :- Too much price. Bsss.
Solution:- Normal local train ko hata ke Sare local ko AC krdo Or price jo KYN -CSMT ka 15 hai usko 30 krdo 100 nhi.
AC trains haven't failed at all.
Especially in the Western line, it's fully packed in the morning and evening peak hours.
Calling it failure is misleading
I travel daily from Goregaon to Churchgate.
I assure you that AC trains have failed badly. They are fully empty.
Actually, this video is not misleading. It's you who is misleading others.
You're probably some IT cell guy I guess.
In a decade they should remove all non AC trains . This will work since a big chunk of metro will be ready to complement locals.
Nowadays usually see half of the ac local capacity is used here and think it's not a hit but also not a fail...
Yes,it is working in central line and I am one of the users...
It is 100% a hit on Western Line
AC local kisne maangi thee? may be less than 1% of mumbai's local train commuters might have demanded AC local... the real problems are different.. hame kam bheed chahiye.. train time par chahiye.. frequency jyada ho.. naye rail route banaye jaaye. platform par suvidha ho. . we didn't ask for AC train.. it is luxury.. we want our necessity first , comfort later and luxury last.
Just increase the frequency!! U will just see a boom in the number of passengers!!
I myself want to travel in ac trains and even if I get a monthly pass I hardly get these ac trains in time of travel!!
My recommendation just increase the frequency and hit will be a hit
Bhai ....ola.. uber se zyada rate hai bhai A/c local ka....Subah shyam full baaki trip passenger nahi hai..Train khaali...Kaise chalega bhai..Loss hi hoga na...Rate,ticket fair factors
AC trains are only for the posh cities like mumbai. In india, if anything has to get great success from business point of view then it must be of lower cost. Rural people in india will not pay more for any extra comfort/facility other than fulfilling the basic need if any other cheaper option is present. The fact is also clear from the losses of the american/europian car companies (ford/GM...etc) who left india as their western world strategy was not accepted in indian people and the market is dominated by Suzuki/ Tata/ mahindra type of cars.
AC local is hit but some people (short amount) are obstruct.
It's a complete success....Bhai try getting in during peak hours from Dahisar......both to and fro...... you will see the success automatically
Price is main reason bro.....kaam price rahega toh har koi iss main safar karega...nmnc ki ac bus successful hai kyuki price kaam hai...
Bro, the AC trains are now much better, and have improved way more. It is set to improve even more. I come standing most of the times as the trains are now being crowded, lesser than the normal ones, but still
Everyone is missing one imp point. It has nothing to do with price. In mumbai people do look for comfort. Issue is locals are not on correct time. Example from kalyan after 6:30 next train is at 9. There is no train to ensure person reaches office by 9:30. Trains should be there in higher number on correct time
I was just wondering why 15 Car locals are so less in compared to 12 Car. Is it because of platform length or some other reason?
Platform length is the issue at many stations
Ac local is not failed, in fact its a best thing mumbaikars can have, there are things that are not in favour of people is its high price, more ac trains than normal train, as normal trains are affordable to mass class also the capacity of normal train is unlimited than ac train which have limited capacity for people. And main thing is people dont want to change their mindset towards developing city trends.
Bhai kya bol raha hai! AC locals are getting more and more passengers everyday. They're improving day by day. To call it a failure is just extremely misleading title.
mumbai local will success 200% i am very sure just run on fast track with high frequency in pick timing
Ticket price is the main reason along with frequency. If best can provide 6 rs ac ticket then railways can provide 10rs min ticket.
Railways do provide Rs 10 tickets lol, it's called general call. Then their is 1st class and above that is AC class, which is discussed in video.
To actualize the full potential of AC trains (at least on CR), discontinue FC compartments in regular locals and convert it into complete general class train with dedicated compartments to women and physically disabled. AC trains to run as dedicated FC compartment trains. AC Train season ticket shud be same as FC fares so that commuters will opt for AC trains.Also run AC trains after every 3-4 trips of normal trains. This will lead to proper distribution of crowd, even during peak hours.
What a clickbait title and thumbnail, this a classic example of a non-mumbaikar commenting negatively about something that they have never experienced personally and blindly referring to official figures...
AC Trains are not Fail. It has been Hit and a great success.
Well AC locals have been somewhat successful after the prices were reduced during summers.
But all local trains cannot and should not be replaced by AC trains. I travel in non AC train becoz the fare is almost 6 times compared to second class. And whenever a AC train arrives at a platform, the local train arriving after that gets crowded too much.
As more and more AC trains get introduced the crowd on local trains will increase, until I guess there will be protest. And some protest have happened against AC locals even after reducing price. I won't be surprised if there would be large scale protest in future as more and more trains get introduced.
AC trains can be introduced only upto a certain treashold without causing inconvenience to the people travelling in non AC local trains.
They can bring down the fares further as the volume increases so more people can afford to travel by AC trains.
@@iswap007 How can they ?? A monthly pass of AC local is almost 6 times the one for non AC local. Non AC local are very very cheap and AC locals even after reducing fares can't compete with them.
The problem could be solve by using semi-AC locals but that concept was facing some technical issue.
Another way to solve the problem is by introducing more lines to increase services. For eg on WR 1 line (up & down) for Borivali passengers, 1 for virar, 1 for fast locals and another one for express/mail. But such things could take decades as currently even building 1 track on the network is taking more than 15 years.
@@Chaitanya1310 you were right. Huge protests were held in badlapur against ac local. In Kalwa police crushed protestors.
@@iswap007 6 times price difference is too much to cover for both service provider and consumer. It cant be covered just by volume increase. Especially em being from ecntral line central line has more passengers than western but their income is much lesser causing greater problems on central line.
@@koumei1709 best has converted their most routes to AC. In the short term they would face losses but since the public will anyway travel by AC buses, they will have volume to make money with thin margin.
Given Mumbai's weather conditions, all trains should be AC. It will also reduce fatigue and increase safety as the doors must be closed.
Here in India AC is still seen as a luxury but in the world like Europe AC is an essential. Indians have the money to afford AC trains but still PPL consider AC as very expensive
AC locals are superhit ❤ 🎉 Things can improve but they are on right track.
It's same with AC buses. I remember they used to run AC bus every 10 minutes on one route but other routes had hardly one.
Do you have something to say now?
I can see so many people actually commenting that its not failed. I think we should become a country of world class transportation and remove all old trains with AC
why AC local train is so high RS 100, here in delhi we fare is only RS 60 from one station to another its depends on you how far you are going fare remains same
Mumbai and Delhi have difference
@@TheRealAsTrO_xy delhi is better place
@@TheRealAsTrO_xy In Delhi metro the maximum they can charge you is 60, and most commutes are under 40 rupees
Ticket should be not more than 50 rs and pass should not be more than 1000 rs plus frequency need to increase and I promise it will definitely work successfully entire year.
AC locals are filled during peak hours in Central railway too!!
These ac local trains are only for people's who earn 30k+ salary, business man etc not for common peoples in shorts its for rich class😌😌
The fare of AC locals is stupendous. There is no logic why it should be so much. It shouldn’t in any way be more than 3 times the normal fare.
Once AC trains become more common, prices will reduce significantly and become almost like non AC fares. In fact, we shouldn't consider AC as a ' luxury '. It is basic comfort for the passengers and crew.
I always travel by AC local.. Love it. It is not failure. I use central line..
Today also travel time is not good. its not ruining at office time and delay time is also a problem.
This train looks great inside out. And should be available in every major city.
I totally agree with u even i think that if common local trains charges 15 Rs fare of travel then Ac local should charge atmost 30rs the travel fare. Then only it would be successful and budget friendly for every mumbaikars
like metro mumbai western and Central railway must convert into air-conditioned
with reasonable ticket fare
Also most ac trains are not functioning on Sunday, I mean people like to go town side on sundays for recreational purposes and such travellers will not mind spending extra to go comfortably alas hardly any trains
I know rakes need to go for maintenance but isn't this a business opportunity?
good point
They don't have that many trains yet.
Broo it's actually not a failure on the western line! People use it! And it's the best our Mumbai locals can get!
Bro I have two family members who prefer AC train just for one reason "AC train me gardi nahi rehti."
Kya AC train's ko Pune to Mumbai and nashik to Mumbai chalana feasible hoga?
No...because steep gradients of kasara & bhor ghats makes local trains travel impossible between ur mentioned cities
Honestly after visiting london , i wish mumbai has the same easy card swap system. I feel ashamed how can our local be in so bad state . Its a shame while having so much budget
True, Panvel se Thane and return sirf 3-4 train chalti hai poore din me… Agar frequency badjaaye toh even I will take pass
Akkhi train Khali jate, Thane- Panvel route pe 2 types ki local chalti hai, ek AC aur dusri Central Line ki purani Wali dabba jisme fan bhi nahi chalte
Frequency has increased on Western railway...tickets price is about same as first class ticket...just 20-30 rs more than FC ticket
ac local सबसे सुरक्षित पर्याय है. थोडा rates का REVIEW लेणे के बाद वो प्रोब्लेम भी निकाल जाएगा . ac local हि मुंबई suburban का भविष्य है.
Don't know much about other AC locals but one AC fast which travel between Thane - csmt always seems fully packed during peak hours
we atleast have to make automatic closing door common because it can save many lives and can also protect you from thugs who jumps into the train
After the change in fare for AC local with respect to first class tickets... I think it's reviving again! They realised their mistakes.
That's wrong statement to make especially for western line railways adding more AC locals due to demands
No doubt frequency is the issue...but it is not a failed project for sure
1:06 The first reason is invalid. They should make more trains for running them at a higher frequency
I think instead of AC local they should have adjusted AC compartments to each running local . And as per demand they can add or minus the compartments.
Way too complex.. remember this is not express, they are trainsets.. so you can't actually adjust them accordingly after it is manufactured and sent into service
I think railways should give 1 AC coach to not all but at least every 3rd local train, rather than having a complete AC local.
The problem of having a full AC local is that we have to be on time to catch it. In a city like Mumbai our job timings are not fixed especially the leaving time. So most of the people don't buy it's seasonal pass.
This won't be a problem if every 3rd local train has an AC coach.
Very beautiful hard work ❤️
Best of luck 👍
Bhai yes it failed in central railway but not in western
Just try to travel from dadar to borivali in Ac local
Even if it has failed although i don't believe it.....it is worth populating Mumbai suburb with ac local. It will improve the quality of travel of mumbaikars. It is filthy and traumatic to travel like cats and dogs in current local trains.
It is Very Informative. ❤️
Very accurate reasons, it'll be completely successful in upcoming years. Thanks for using my video of local trains 🤗❤️🔥
*Mumbaikar be Like:*
*Inhe Sonne ka Katora Do tab bhi bheek hi mangenge* 😁😁♥️
Does AC local has charging point?
Yo bro - just a feedback, there’s a mistake in the title. Don’t use past tense after “did” as that’s incorrect use of English. I enjoy your videos!
Kyu 420k subscribers hoke bhi 90k hi views hain . Make a video on this..
Best idea is...Sab local ko ac kar do. Non ac train hata do..uske bad dekho dekho ac local kayse 100 parcent marks main pass hota hai.
Central and western line ke liye ac train kind of successful hai but harbour line me abhi tak to fail hai jaise ke video me reason bataye hai. Timing to habour line bahut hi odd hai and costly padta hai
Bhai csmt se ghatkopar ka regular ticket 10rs h single to ac ka zada se zada 40 hona chahiye taki middle class log jo regular travel nhi krte wo log bhi ac local ka maza le paye
Local train ki timings hi sabse bada mudda hai. Wo thk ho jaye to max problem resolve ho jayega.
It's a new concept, but if you consider the trend of value, make 3 compartments to be added to all 12 coach trains. So that people will utilise the same.
Agar mumbai local Ac trains ki frequency increse kar di jye aur Fare kiraya kam kar diya jaye toh Mumbai Local ac Sucessful ho sakti hai
Bro on central and trans harbour the AC local are a hit. They are going fully packed. People are prefering ac local rather than buying a first class ticket on normal. Local.
ac locals are the future of mumbai locals
Sir ye sirf pick ours mein hi successfully chal rhi hai baki hours mein ye ekdam khali jaa rhi hai ye loss mein hi rahegi always ya fir isi pass first class walo ki pass se thoda upar rakhde to may be first class wale ac mein shift ho jaye tab shayad kuch baat baney ya fir inhe non peak hours mein na chalaye uski jaga regular chalaye kyubki ab regular mein non peak hours mein bhi bhid badhne lagi hai
Prices should be slashed 50% more and allow AC train ticket to be valid for normal train as well, people will then be ready to take minor risk of price difference and in future when ac train frequency will be improved, this risk reduces. Prices then can be gradually improved to sustain the system an revenue
It's hit on central railway...dombivali being the highest number of ac commuters...
I'm more than 100% sure the video maker is not from Mumbai, he has no idea on the ground level. Just yesterday central railway added 2 more ac local train.
If all trains are replaced by ac trains in Mumbai with affordable prices then it will be successful, also people will stop hanging on train doors because of automatic doors.
