What I love is how the "ushers/officers/guards" just start shoving everyone in. That's a crazy job.

It doesn't seem it could be real does it? They pack 'em into elevators the same way. They also have "ushers" as Andria said to carry people in wheelchairs up steps and if a person is merely too crippled to walk them under self power they piggypack them up.There's no punchline and no, the last example wasn't meant to an over the top example in the same vein as the others-they still do it this way as far as I know.

That is crazy. I would never make in Japan. I need my personal space. How do they get off? open the doors and fall out? What if you are in the middle and the next stop is yours. Can you imagine missing your stop and having to stay on that train a full route?

Been there, done that. It is real. Fortunately my stop was near the end of the line and the place I was standing was toward the back of the car. The guys in suits with gloves pushing everyone in are REAL. Needless to say, I hated taking the commuter train in Tokyo, but the bullet train to Kyoto was COOL! Just don't look down for very when it's going 200mph - you'll get motion sick.

I've read about this before, but this is the first time I've seen it!! What if someone lets out with a really smelly fart? That could be fatal!

They do the same thing with elevators. Also they use "ushers" as Andria referred to them to carry people up steps in wheelchairs at public buildings. If someone is disabled but, not in a wheelchair they piggyback ride them up-no joke

Serves them right! Now they're getting a taste of how our P.O.W.'s were transported by them in WWII. Goes to show you, some things never change. Cattle calls then, cattle calls now. You talk about a germ infested pile of crap!! I have always said they may have a hint of intellegence but they are ignorant as hell.

Hell no. They just need to schedule more trains. That has to be very unsafe. What is someone suffocated. Or worse, farted?
