Shakujikoen Sardine Run - (1991)

More morning crush-rush commuter train fun from 1991 (it's a little less crowded now, thanks to flextime). Both this one and "Actually Full Train in 1991" were taken by me. "Actually Full Train in 1991" has been relentlessly copied and even labeled as being from China! It's not! It's from the Seibu-Ikebukuro Line in Tokyo.

Besides helping people get into trains what other things did they have to do?

[lylehsaxon]

@gof22 At the time this was taken, they also took tickets by hand and basically made sure it was safe for the train to depart. Then they put in automatic ticket machines, and the railways have been cutting back on the number of employees they have, so there are fewer of and fewer of them in the stations. Mainly it's just the automated machines, cameras, and the trains. - LHS

O.O ESPERO QUE TENGAN VENTILACION :/

[lylehsaxon]

@TheAyora Ventilation? Actually, the old train cars (this is from 1991) had better ventilation than the new ones, which are more energy efficient. Fortunately though, this line is less crowded now than when I took this in 1991. - LHS

2007年、団塊の世代が引退したため、そこを境に、西武線はじ­め、多くの鉄道会社では混雑が緩和されたそうです。現在ではこの­映像ほどすごい混雑はしていませんよね。

The baby boomers retired the job in 2007. Seibu Ikebukuro line and others(example, JR lines,Tokyo-Metro lines, Other Private Railways) isn't more crowded than before 20 years. I use it everyday, so I know that.

@qfan500 well it might not be only in Japan ... but this is in Japan, right? What is not clear to me is how old the video is?
