To lessen congestion and make it easier for commuters to purchase tickets, the Western Railways has decided to demolish the existing booking office on the eastern side of Bandra station and shift it inwards. The move, part of their project to decongest the area, was kicked off two to three weeks ago.

Moving the office will not only help in widening the existing road on the eastern side, but also decongest commuter crowd at the station. The eastern end has seen an exponential rise in commuter numbers after business hub Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) came up, that has made a stampede-like situation an everyday affair.
