Yamanote Line Train...too crowded

[we1n88]

hahaha..the door was like "Crap, another day of work. I hate my life".

[GreasemonkeyCGI]

How do you get anywhere on time? LOL!

[Koroodetto]

That's why I didn't catch the train during peak hour while pregnant. My stomach would have been squashed.

[Pst0ner]

someone's knee is pushing against my leg...

oh wait! its a ____

[HooshangJavan]

this is just like london

[Simmercross]

omg, that's me in the video!!

[LetsBurnSomething]

Shittttt.... I'm going to Japan this summer, the place I'm staying is pretty much right on the Yamanote...

[sc841]

When I was there and it was busy like that I just waited 2 minutes for the next train which was crowded still, but not as much. And if you're at the front of the queue you can get on easily.

[matroilanh]

because thay would late for work or school

[funfun168]

why dont they wait for the next train?

[vkotis]

thats what i want to know.

[bbukfan]

The next one will be just as crowded.

[riookierin]

@bbukfan so those people get up really close so they can beat the others :P

[paku69]

yes, the next train will arrive in a few minutes or less.

but the train will be crowded as much as this train.

[funfun168]

but......he is the first in the queue for the next train, overall it is just a few minutes delay....

[Tyrannien96]

next train in whichever line will come in about 30-45 seconds, not minutes

[Simmercross]

@funfun168 The next train is just as crowded.

[starcraftguy1]

what would happen if someone farted?

[xxcouture]

everyone would die.

[maquahuitl]

hahahahaha... best comment here.

[anothertalkinghead]

And then, as soon as the train starts moving, the chikans spring into action.

[donsherio]

It only happens in Rush traffic, otherwise its pretty calm

[svartmetall48]

That's incredible. The hell of commuting in Japan!

[clubpenguin777]

it happens here too, in Sydney Australia

[svartmetall48]

Not quite to the same extent though! The Yamanote line carries almost as many people in a year as Sydney's Cityrail does in a year!

I've been on the London Underground in rush hour and even that doesn't compare to the Tokyo rail network. Don't forget that 36 million journeys a day occur on trains in Tokyo!

[metallicism]

do you perhaps mean "The Yamanote line carries almost as many people in a day as Sydney's Cityrail does in a year!"

[svartmetall48]

No. I meant that the annual passenger volumes for the entire Cityrail network in Sydney is equal to that of the Yamanote line - I just phrased it terribly. My apologies.
