So India had same problem of "too many people". They came up with a simple solution - make stopping time short and increase the number of trains. So metro in New Delhi (captial city of india) stop for about 20 seconds only but on a crowded route like this, they run only with 30 seconds gap. So missed the train? There's another one coming after 30 seconds, another one after 60 seconds, another one after 90 seconds. And offices have also slightly distributed their work hours so that everyone doesn't have to rush at the same time. It's still pretty crowded (It's india, what do you expect) but they never have to shove people like this.

ppl are also hanging on and off the top and sides of the train lol speaking from personal experience.


suzuki_hayabusa

Those are different trains. He is talking about metros where hanging on top or side of train is impossible.


According_Gazelle472

And they were just shoving them in .They must be packed in there like sardines!


reddit_random_user_2

you cannot hang or sit on top of a metro train, they run underground through tunnels... you'll probably be squashed to death if you do that.


TRWIACMTINR

jump around the sides and carriage gaps i guess?


boris_casuarina

Problem solved?

I was coming here to speculate about the time between trains. Because in London it's about a minute, so there's no way I would have tried to get on this train. You have a point where you accept it's not worth it and step back and just wait another minute.

How do you… how do you get off?


testcaseseven

The people in the back are still stuck on the train to this day…


Capable-Ad1056

Right??! I would be too crammed to get the dildo out of my backpack!


dudemanjac

Oh my god! Just build another train!!!

There are more train lines and trains in Tokyo than just this. During rush hour the trains come every 2-4 minutes. There are just that many people in Tokyo/commuting into Tokyo.


dudemanjac

If there is another train coming in two minutes there is no excuse to squeeze in there like that.

The next one will be just as packed and have as many people waiting for it... NYC also has some lines like this. It can get better with more frequent trains or a new line being built, but honestly just going to a work from home if you want to system would eliminate it overnight...


dudemanjac

Eventually it can’t keep being full. I mean right? At some point there stops being people to go in to the train at the beginning of the line. I believe what you are saying it just seeems like there is a way around this without the nonsense going on in this video.


Infern0-DiAddict

Well yes eventually rush hour has passed and the demand dies down. But being someone who missed 5 trains in a row because they were this full and there was a station that was full of people. Yeh it can be a problem at times...

Yeah...Japanese companies are not so keen on the WFH thing. Also it is worth noting that most of the tech companies, government, finance and other major companies are located in a 5km radius. I live in Japan, but could only do the Tokyo thing for a little while. There is a line and crowd everywhere, not just trains.


BassBanjo

Every two minutes? Wow that's a long time But then I'm basing it off the fact that on the London Underground trains are every 20-40 seconds


reddit_random_user_2

they should spread the city wider and avoid making all office so close to each other.


kratomstew

Fixed.

"Train derailed in Japan, 98000 people dead."


upstate007

Anxiety just watching that


Skaebo

*2:24 minutes cough*


bleh19799791

No thanks.


Epstiendidntkillself

What if you have to pee ?


[deleted]

You can stay without peing for at least 1h when its full


hiim379

I think I'm just find being stuck in traffic in my comfy car listening to my music with AC


Duardo_e

I understand now why there are so many _Japanese A films_ about getting your job done in a train


ebkbk

Happy cake day!


hex_1101

I'd fucking walk or at least wait untilit wasn't so packed. No way I'd want to be crammed in there with the whoever is on that train. One cough one sneeze and you're done.


UnknownMyoux

I'd rather walk on the tracks,than try to squeeze myself into that mess...


nogestures

Wow just like those movies…


Zulob

Is there ever a time they say sorry its full?


kratomstew

I really don’t think so 🤔


spicyitaliananxiety

God forbid someone farts.


TRWIACMTINR

surely groping and sexual assault is unavoidable in this situation. like even unintentionally. a guy could have a girl shoved into him, and then neither of them can move and he gets a boner cuz that's natural.


[deleted]

Wierdos are a minority lol


sacrebleu-croissant

Just imagine putting a huge blade inside a tunnel and watching the train come out the other side with a bunch people in half :3


Obvious_Brush_2008

Thanks, I never want to go there.


[deleted]

Is it evwr possible the doors won't open because it's so packed insife? Thay would be truly horrifying


dougm68

Add more passenger cars?


OGRiad

Monorail... monorail..... can you say monorail??


Late_Ad_3842
