Rush hour train in Japan (JR Utsunomiya Line)

The crowded train, which is delayed due to strong wind, is arriving and departing at Omiya Station of the JR Utsunomiya Line, in rush hour.
(Saitama City, Saitama Pref.)

평일밤, JR오오미야역 우츠노미야선(토호쿠본선) 타는 곳 모습.
이 날은 거친 날씨 때문에, 열차가 늦어 운행하고 있었다.
도쿄 수도권의 철도는 얼마 안되는 지연이 대단한 혼잡을 발생시켜 버린다.

この日は悪天候のため、列車が遅れて運行していた。
首都圏の鉄道では少しの遅延が大変な混雑を発生させてしまう。

Well, almost any train I travelled in Japan, except for the Shinkansen have so-called priority seats, which are reserved for the elderly, handicapped, etc. And as far as I have witnessed most people are decent enough to give way to the elderly. Just on a little side note, there is a special day in Japan reserved for paying respect to the elderly. This respect for the elderly is also I think reflected in respect for the dead. In Japan one has shrines in ones house, which are attended every day.

If you want to get out, just say "excuse me" (in Japanese) and gently shove your way out - people will move, but you just have to give them a bit of encouragement.

@1290Li it's because the double-decker car is the green car, a second class car, which will cost you extra fare. And it's seat only, no standing in the green car. It's for those who mind of standing all the way, and surely has extra yen in their deposit within their SuiCa or pasmo preloaded card. From what i heard, for the longest journey using this line, will cost you extra about more than 1000 Yen from the normal fare.
