Apparently 5 million commuters enter Mumbai through this station each morning, and yes it't pretty crowded. But notice the clock, 10:15am, and still the commuters are flooding in. These people are not late for work, they just start work later. Mumbai overcomes its traffic congestion by staggering start hours. Look at Sydney roads and trains at 10:15 in the morning, and they are empty. Food for thought?
