In Mumbai, local trains have been in use for years, making them one of the go-to travel modes. However, they often raise safety concerns, as many commuters hang near open doors, leading to accidents. To address this, Mumbai is now planning to introduce its first closed-door, non-AC local train. Check out the first look!

Content creator, Dev Pitroda (@devpitroda365) shared the first look at the non-AC local train. In the video, he mentioned that the train has finally arrived in India and is heading towards Kurla carshed for tests and trials. After successfully passing tests, Mumbai will soon get India’s first closed-door, non-AC local train.
In the video, we can see that these trains have wide windows, ensuring passengers don’t feel suffocated. The rest of the exterior looks similar to other local trains in Mumbai. This upgrade aims to make daily travel safer and more comfortable, especially during extreme heat. Unlike regular locals, the train features automatic doors, a feature usually seen in AC trains. According to NDTV, it also has a forced ventilation system. It pushes fresh air inside, keeping the coaches cool even with doors shut.
The best part? This new train is designed for general class commuters, offering better safety without the high cost of AC travel. The closed-door system will help reduce accidents caused by overcrowding and people falling off trains.
