This particular article is talking about HSR, not something usually associated with metro or subway style crush loads. In most cases, if all seats are sold out, then you get a ticket for the next train, not just push on and stand crushed shoulder to shoulder. As for getting from the main train to the offloading carriage, with available technology there is no reason it would be more than a matter of simply stepping through an open doorway; interlocking platforms would ensure no gap.
