Express trains stoppages at major citties

The Express trains (like Shatabdi, Rajdhani and other super fasts) must stop at satellite cities' railway stations and at least two local stations to make the residents of these areas not to come to or go from the main railway station which, in turn, will avoid tremendous traffic congestion in city. Let us take example of New Delhi station, or Delhi or Nizamuddin railway station. No express train stops at any of two of these, what to talk of all three. This results in heavy traffic congestion due to the two/four vehicles in and around the cities of the passengers who are coming to the station to catch the train from the satellite cities' stations, like Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Palwal or so. Even the passengers living in that part of Delhi which is nearer to Nizamuddin have to rush to New Delhi station to catch a train, which starts from New Delhi, and same happens to the passengers getting down the trains at these stations.

Hence, these trains, instead of giving stoppages at small stations having been created at the whims of local MPs only without examining whether this is revenue generating or not (12001 Shatabdi Express stopping at Morena, Dholpur etc.) be allowed to stop at satellite cities' stations.

This will not only benefit the passengers only, this will add to environmental cleanliness, which otherwise gets polluted due to an umpteen number of vehicles rushing towards a major railway station.

Such actions must be initiated in other big cities also by Indian Railway, as just to cite on example, the New Delhi – Bhopal Shatabdi Express (12002) has been extended to Habibganj station in Bhopal, apart from its stoppage at Bhopal station. The chaos of traffic congestion it used to cast when it reached Bhopal earlier (before this extension) has now been subsided considerably.
