Transportation in Mumbai

Mumbai, India is a fast paced place where many put their lives on the line in order to reach their destinations.  According to The UK Times, Mumbai is home to the most deadly urban railway network in the world, where more than 3,500 people lose their lives annually.  Most deaths are attributed to trespassing on the rails.  Though the tracks are very dangerous, the Indian rail authorities are taking steps to improve their rail system.  Sophisticated sensors and automatic anti-collision detection systems control train speeds as well as stop a fully loaded train in case of an emergency.
