What’s amazing is that despite all this people-cramming those trains are super punctual, never late. Unlike in Berlin, where delays occur whenever the municipal transportation services encounter one of their four arch enemies: spring, summer, fall and winter.
Also, the Japanese know their commuter manners: no eating, no music, no conversations that the whole car can hear (at least the last few times I’ve been there). Remember their “Do It At Home” posters?

It’d be interesting to study the phenomenon of over crowding on trains. It doesn’t really happen on other forms of transport. In the city I live in (in Western Europe) the trains are not as bad as this but they are completely full every morning to the point that everyone is within a couple of inches of someone on all sides. There is capacity for more carriages and I don’t see how it is allowed to carry on. It is extremely unpleasant and I don’t get the train because of it. There are always seats on the bus which passes my house.
