Observations of the stude is when u move away from the city after 60 Kms, the popularity of Suburban Rail decreases. One reason is quality of Suburban Rail decreases after 60 Kms which is very clear as managing will become difficult.
Upto 60 to 90 Min travell time, maximum commuters make use of the Suburban Rail services arround Kolkatta.
