Once I asked a fellow on the station to tell me which train will go to so and so place (long time back, so dont remember the place name) and to my surprise he came all the way with me upto that station and before I could even thank him properly he was gone by the return train... though all through when he was with me I was a bit nervous as to why does he come all the way... but it ended with a pleasant surprise and left a mark, which I always remember..

Have been there several times during my college days and after and everytime have found it more and more wonderful... u are never alone even if you are alone when in Mumbai.

But as Ranishkt said...people do avoid situations which are tricky, heard one case when a lady was thrown on the railway tracks and no one bothered for her for quite a long time.. but anyways that is everywhere... people do not want to get caught on the wrong foot trying to extend a helping hand..
