The number of passengers between Virar and Dahanu is continuously increasing. Due to the increasing number of passengers, passengers are demanding to increase local services from Virar to Dahanu and from Dahanu to Virar.
Local train connectivity is very limited with respect to Dahanu Road and the situation becomes worse during peak hours. Recently, Western Railway has introduced 15 additional new services on the Virar-Churchgate route. But not a single such train ran between Virar-Dahanu road.
