Mumbai's suburban railway network saw a slight decrease in commuter deaths in 2025, with 2,287 fatalities compared to 2,468 in 2024. Despite this decline, an average of six people still die daily on the network, highlighting ongoing safety concerns, especially in outer suburbs. Track crossing and overcrowding remain the primary causes of death, with Thane and Kalyan sections reporting the highest numbers. Activists attribute these persistent issues to rapid urban growth outpacing public transport capacity.
