Normally violence is associated with physical violence. This is just one aspect of the total violence that all of us suffer in our daily life specially so while living in a Metropolitan city. If we look around, the type of violence that we are subjected to can be many : due to noise - audio violence, ugly sights - visual violence, bad odor - olfactory violence, dirt - pollution violence, rush - crowd violence and many more to go apart from the physical and mental violence.
A common man suffers the consequences of all the above, and it reflects in their stressed lives and response to fellow humans. All of us have a role to play in reducing the "Violence Quotient" (VQ) of a city.

Some of the suggestions for reducing the violence that a commuter is subjected to in Mumbai are:
- Frequent painting of the interior / exterior of the coaches to present a pleasing appearance.
- the noise level of the fans, power car, track noise etc.
- Improved public address system to make the announcements more comprehend able.
- Improved signages inside the trains as well as on the station premises.
- Providing garbage bins inside the coaches to prevent people from littering on the tracks.
- White-wash the boundary walls of the corridor of tracks.
- Painting the over-bridges.
- Provide additional cross-over bridges.
- Involve private sector /industries in maintenance of the platforms.
- Give awards for 3 "Best Stations" to recognize the contribution of the sponsors.
