Spread over , the suburban railway operates 2,342 train services and carries more than 7.5 million commuters daily. By annual ridership (2.64 billion), the Mumbai Suburban Railway is one of the busiest commuter rail systems in the world.〔http://www.firstpost.com/india/hop-on-the-mumbai-metro-today-absolutely-everything-you-need-to-know-1560805.html〕 It has some of the most severe overcrowding in the world. Trains run from 4 AM until 1 AM, and some trains also run up to 2:30 AM. ==History== The Mumbai Suburban Railway is an offshoot of the first railway to be built by the British in India, and is also the oldest railway system in Asia. The first train ran between Bori Bunder (now Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus) and Thane, a distance of 34 km, on 16 April 1853 at 3:35 pm. The 14-coach train took 1.25 hr to complete the 34 km journey, with a halt at Sion to refill the train's water tanks. Since 1991, it has faced rapid expansion. The ''Bombay Railway History Group''〔(and http://brhg.4t.com Bombay Railway History Group )〕 has been striving to document railway heritage along this line. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mumbai Suburban Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
