Sometimes if you’re close to the door you just have to step out then get back in. But if you’re strategic enough then you try to get closer to the middle of the train and slowly work your way closer to a door the closer you get to your destination station. Source: me studying abroad in Tokyo for a summer.
When I used the trains there, I would identify a gap between people and proceed to push my body into it. Some people would make way for me when I said, "すみません、降ります（Excuse me, I'm getting off here)". Sometimes cooperative passengers would move their bodies to clear a space in front of the door to let the person getting off through.
Loving this! I'm doing a List of the best subway systems in the world and obviously Tokyo is included! I would love to use some of your footage....and obviously credit you for it!
We used have that in Soviet Union!!! As a kid I had to use bus every day and sometimes my school bag would be hanging outside the closed doors. I still can’t get rid off the panic when I get on a train and push people in front of me. As there was one bus every 20 mints or smth Our teacher always used to have a sawing kit for children who had their clothes ripped. But this is Japan, right…??? !! 😮
It's like dumping cattle in trains. Japan is called advanced country with bullet trains but don't have many trains to accommodate these passengers. WTF.
ive always wanted to go to cities and stuff but things like these have one part of me wanting to go more and one wanting to never step foot in a city for the rest of my life
This is number one world’s best system ! Number one & very best ! We Japanese must be getting so furious and moved of the big & noisy USA man is condemn us for our very best thing ! Do you understand ?
There is a reason Japan has so many people. I highly doubt that people who board these trains are chaste. It is high time for more of these people to work remotely. Yes, some have to physically go to work, but I think there are ways to minimize this traffic. Packing people into anything, especially something that moves, is not safe!
Well that's a weird comment. Tbh this isn't just safer because it's in Japan and not the US for example but actually the Japanese subway being this crowded is safer than just being "full". At least this way you can't fall at high speed on the ground with your teeth knocked out if the driver has to do an emergency stop
@@ouciukjbbjhhjkklksc8948it depends. If is too cramped, chest compression can kill someone by restricting their oxygen take in. It really depends on how much force is being exerted into the person you are next to.
