Mumbai unshackling herself from a near three-month lockdown minus her lifeline - local trains - was akin to a millipede having forgotten to carry along its (three) thousand legs along before setting off. On Monday, slumbering railway stations crackled back to life, from CSMT to Churchgate to Karjat/Kasara to Virar to Vashi, ferrying essential staff.
Around 1 pm on Monday, commuters queued at the single ticket counter that was open, standing in assigned spots, keeping a one-hand distance from those ahead and behind them. Tickets were issued on displaying ID cards and only to state government and civic employees, police, medical and BEST staff.
