You can display data in table structure like this:

id | stationname | total
-------------------------
 1 | Khar        | 5
 2 | SantaCruz   | 3
 3 | Sion        | 2
 4 | VT          | 1
 5 | newFort     | 3
 6 | Bandra      | 2
 7 | Worli       | 1
 8 | Sanpada     | 3
 9 | Joe         | 2
10 | Sally       | 1
11 | Elphiston   | 2
12 | Currey Road | 1
