If you remotely heard about Mumbai in your life time, you have heard about it's local trains. In a city where "Taxi" automatically means it's the Black and Yellow Cabs and not the suave Ubers and Olas of the world, I happen to use local trains as a mode of conveyance like the many million Mumbaikars. These trains are simply referred to as "Locals". It's been 4 days of commute to and from work in the local and I have already experienced empty locals, full locals, full beyond capacity locals, and full enough for you to never even get close to the door locals. While the experience is a little overwhelming, it's also something I always wondered about as a kid. Yet, whenever I swung my Mumbai as a kid I had insisted on taking a Cab, errr Taxi instead of locals. Those monstrous trains could be scary, astonishing, but scary.
