On July 28, Borivali fast trains at 5.49 pm and 8.30 pm from Churchgate to Borivli were converted to superfasts. This meant that the superfasts would not halt at the stations between Andheri and Borivli. This meant a real crush for commuters living at Jogeshwari, Goregaon, Malad and Kandivali, who found the trains that stop at their interim stations have become fewer, so they are forced to get into impossibly crowded trains.
