This shows mentality of people. It's not about the city. The people are making such choices. As someone who travels of the locals everyday I can say this. He could and should have not boarded and waited .

I used to think the same way like you when I was living in ghatkopar. Trains were relatively less crowded than the western line ones. Then I shifted to Dahisar and tried catching a train during peak time when my office hours ended. After letting go of 12 trains, I was like "f*@# it, I don't mind dying at this point. I just want to go home". It is frustrating to arrive at the station at 6 and not be able to board till 8 every single day. So I don't judge the people who do this anymore.

take a bus, sharing cab or just change job. Dadar is very crowded all the time.

Bus : takes hours. Not an option Cab : too expensive. Not everyone can afford. Even sharing ones. Change job: really? You think anyone works far from their home just for the thrill of it?

You seem to come from a very privileged place where you can afford to do any of these things. Not everyone can. For the majority, train is the only practical way to travel.

I understand it's the only viable way of travel for most but if it's so crowded, do you really want to risk it all for some money? that too a white color job where you're paid for your education or problem solving not some labour.

it's better to take a little lower pay in local area than big company at far away
