Locomotion Course
Travelling in the suburban local train during the peak hours can be a stunning experience for a greenhorn in Bombay. One has to maneuver one self with extreme adroitness in order to be able to embark or disembark at the desired station. The platforms on the stations come on either side and one has to position oneself in the right spot in the gang way to be able to get off at the destination.
Four basic choreographies have been designed according to whether the commuter enters or exits the train from the east side or the west side. The following course in footwork can make you a skilled commuter on the western line of the suburban local trains in Bombay. Similar courses for the Central and Harbour line can be designed to order.
Refer to chart below to find out which stations allow entry /exit from east / west on the Borivali- Churchgate locals.
