It further said, with this new FOB, total 11 FOBs have been commissioned in the financial year 2022-23 between Churchgate and Dahanu Road, taking the total to 144. These efforts will go a long way to control the menace of trespassing as well as combat the problems such as overcrowding on bridges, etc. WR urges its valued customers to care for their precious life and not to trespass railway tracks. Always use FOB, subway, escalators and lifts to crossover and change platforms.
