However, this is only typical of rush hour. Because of the crowd, groping, can be a problem which is why Japan Railways has provided a "Female Only" car to avoid men taking advantage of the situation. Imagine trying to get a stroller on there-----I've had to do that once with 5 children. Not so fun! :) Which is why we travel AFTER or BEFORE rush hour.

It has helped my "forebearing spirit" to understand more of their culture. Fascinating!

I've seen videos like this in the past. I think the Japanese people are a little more used to being in tight spaces with densely populated areas and the small sleeping quarters in some places to stay overnight. I would think crime would be at a minimum because nobody can move! Jeff This is pretty standard practice there. I’ve seen videos like this in the past.

If too many people try to get on and the doors won't close, they kick EVERYBODY OFF. I sure hope the people in the front have to get off at the next station . . . or that no one in the middle needs to get off any time soon! The Washington DC Metro is the opposite.
