"On the other hand, it will be good if the price is increased, for then, only sophisticated and well-behaved people will use the facility," says Aditi. Also, it will reduce the number of train accidents, as commuters will not be able to hang from doors," she says. "If the frequency of AC trains is good and the prices are not too high, this project will benefit many. However, Sonali Shekokar, a regular commuter on the harbour line, is concerned about the maintenance of these trains.." Commenting on the areas impacted by this project, he says, "Both the railway lines (central and harbour) will benefit from this project. "People travel in jam-packed locals because it is a cheap mode of transportation. They also tend to hang at the door, but one cannot do this in an AC train. Nikita Fernandes, who commutes from Naigaon to Churchgate regularly, is optimistic about this initiative. She says, "People have a habit of taking good things for granted and they end up ruining facilities. She is all for more AC trains."Commuters are excited by the launch of more air-conditioned locals, which are expected to bring some respite during the scorching summers. It was railway minister Piyush Goyal who announced this ambitious plan and said that the estimated cost of the project would be around Rs 17,374 crore. The Railways is planning to introduce 210 trains, which will be taken on lease.Writer Aditi Gandhi is of the opinion that it wont be feasible to run AC trains in the city.However, Sonali’s demand is contrary to this. The trains will be on the tracks sometime next year. Many a time, even the fans don’t work properly in trains," says Sonali. People need to keep the trains clean and the AC should work properly. "I travel a long distance, so travelling by an AC train will be a big relief.After the successful functioning of Rubber Wheel Chock the AC train that was introduced last year on December 25 and plies between Borivali and Churchgate, Railways seems hopeful about introducing more AC locals to Mumbai’s railway network. Since the number of commuters is high, many will not be able to board and de-board if the doors are shut. It will help people travel in comfort, especially in the afternoons," Sonali says. The tickets of AC locals will be steeply priced and this will not benefit many," she says. I think they should just put more fans and coolers inside coaches. But she is aware that there is another side to this conundrum. "It is a good initiative, but it also depends on how well these trains are maintained."The writer is also concerned about the price of tickets. The initial-stage decisions have been taken and the designs and the manufacturing company have been finalised.Talking about the initiative Western Railways spokesperson, Ravinder Bhakar, says, "The second stage of the project is expected to be launched this year, which will include setting up partial and non-partial air-conditioned coaches in local trains
