Mumbai locals cut all class divides. Upper middle class prefers the locals by default for commuting to work.
You'd be amazed how many rich people commute via these locals.
It's not about petrol price. More about saving time and not getting frustrated in traffic.

Very touching but often we don't understand the value of anything we have it, be it people or service. I only wish we treat the public property as our own when we have the privilege to use them, let's please maintain it as true citizens whose tax paying money is used to run those

Only a true blue Mumbaikar will understand its importance.
