Tokyo subway

[cyzu1538]

これは地下鉄ではありません。駅は地下にありますけど。東京から­、郊外へ向かう路線で、小田原へ達する小田急線です。

小田急線の朝のラッシュはこれが当たり前です。そして一番混む急­行電車です。よく遅れが出ます。毎日こうゆう状況です。実際使っ­てた時期は、息苦しくて死にそうでした。

Look for Mexico City's subway

Our race is doomed.

[SuperTwoSeven]

The Japanese appear to be polite, respectful people. I didn't see any TSA goons looking at passengers with contempt.

I'd like to visit Japan sometime.

Suertudos los que estan sentados! :) pero en realidad el de Ciudad de México esta mucho peor (en la hora pico, q´ ahora ya es casi siempre :P)

Do tokyo people know the concept of "wait for the next train?

[kolastick]

@jp159951 well i think the next train will be more stuffed! haha Its Tokyo :D

[jp159951]

@kolastick i haven't seen your answer.. anyway, here, in Brazil, people wait longer than an hour just to take an empty bus.. tokyo people should do the same =D

[Anubi1989]

@jp159951 Don't think next train will be empty!! There are hours in which trains are full, every train, in every station, in all Tokyo.... Millions of people travel by subway!!

(I live in Tokyo)

[jp159951]

@Anubi1989 they'll have to come more empty at any time! but i've never been there, so, what can i say?

[Gvieto]

This reminds me of the busses in Panama that were filled to capacity for these long distnace trips from Panama City to the village towns.

[carlawon]

[3889321]

Woah, this looks like johnny-cop-a-feel's wet dream.

ODAKYU LINE!!

[rickardny]

Why don't people in Japan wait for the next train?

[montagnesy]

@rickardny Well, 35.2 million people live in Greater Tokyo, while the population of whole Sweden is only 9 million.

The next train would have same numbers of people riding on it and waiting for the next one wouldn't solve the problem. This line extends for about 85km from Tokyo to its suburbs and stations in the middle get busy because passengers get accumulated as the train makes each stop.

[rickardny]

@montagnesy Well, I didn't even have Sweden in mind when I said that.

But the Japanese goverment should really do something about this, from my point of view.

Dunno what the Japanese people feel about it tho.

[montagnesy]

@rickardny Japan is capitalist country. Most transits are privatized. What can you do more, when the 200 metre long trains come every 2 to 3 minutes running on quadruple (four) tracks parallel. This is not subway, but the overground line. It's just physically and financially impossible to move all the buildings around the tracks to increase the capacity.

Congestion only happens for few hours a day and is also not too bad during the daytime.

[rickardny]

@montagnesy Ah I see, well, hopefully they invent Flying trains soon!

Thanks for your information tho, learned a lot.

[Junokaii]

@rickardny yeah they come very frequent there... or would if thye wouldn't hold the trains up.

[soundersbloke]

@rickardny because that will be full too

[ExpressionOfMe]

Agree, this is the odakyu line which is NOT a subway.

[JapaneseTrain]

It's not a subway but a private railway's Express train. (Odakyu electric railway)

[TravelChannelTV]

Wow. It is so crowded the door won't even close!
