And how do you exactly get out at your Station?

[@jensaukema732]

Not

[@bernhardsonn8996]

Impossible

[@ccasey646]

Sometimes if you’re close to the door you just have to step out then get back in. But if you’re strategic enough then you try to get closer to the middle of the train and slowly work your way closer to a door the closer you get to your destination station. Source: me studying abroad in Tokyo for a summer.

[@sotsora8000]

When I used the trains there, I would identify a gap between people and proceed to push my body into it. Some people would make way for me when I said, "すみません、降ります（Excuse me, I'm getting off here)". Sometimes cooperative passengers would move their bodies to clear a space in front of the door to let the person getting off through.

The line is a circle ⭕ it will come around a few times

[@klaussapplesauce8136]

Fart in the middle of that

[@MrMedukneusha]

Lol! I think even talking is slightly rude. But that'd be freaking hilarious!!!!!!!

[@miloslavkordik381]

It has no middle ....

[@fortawesome1974]

How the hell can people live like this? I don't understand it!!

[@dotdot_sg]

I died twice due to suffocation watching this video.

[@Feisar1976]

I guess the trains are so crowded because no one ever gets out on his station 😂

[@Gurugurustan]

A reminder that what seems impossible is not impossible if you try.

[@roncaruso931]

They can't wait for the next train!!!!

[@Hay8137g]

This is very unsafe just to appear punctual and then sit in office all day.

[@robertwhitley6233]

Watch the rest of the car be completely empty,tons of space,these people just like to snuggle.

[@PostcardsFromJapan]

Magical experience.

[@rambalram2610]

I thought Indian metro are crazy....well

[@johnswift5985]

From the middle of the train car: "Sir? Sir? I have to go to the bathroom!! I really have to go NOW!"

[@cookthechookyy]

its like my school bus

[@streichschwan]

Weiß jemand wie der japanische Kurzfilm heißt, in dem Menschenmassen auf der Straße, auf Rolltreppen und in der U-bahn gefilmt sind, mit Computermusik hinterlegt? Von einem Japaner circa Ende 80er Jahre.

[@wookypark779]

Its like packing it with stuff and closing it and shipping it out!!!

[@brett8460]

Fucking ridiculous. Some of these people were really risking their limbs to try and get on an already packed subway.

[@top12s99]

Loving this! I'm doing a List of the best subway systems in the world and obviously Tokyo is included! I would love to use some of your footage....and obviously credit you for it!

[@Brash_Candicoot]

Have you included Stockholms Tunnelbana?

[@AAAAAA-tj1nq]

lol those weebs think its normal that people are shoved inside a train like sardines or like a jew gas chamber

[@jomjom1905]

Scary

[@umbertocarlos]

And I thought those things only happened here in Brazil lol

[@TepicneoriTFFBAS]

You clearly haven't been to Mexico City

[@ruki4585]

Ich gucke es immer noch

[@caucasianrize5471]

In such a highly developed country, passengers are treated like cattle. Why don't they just send a second train after?

[@LargeHadronAnusCollider]

Okay so how do they get off at their stop?

[@yewliegoh3896]

If you drop something don't think you can pick it up .

[@ajaydhameja8784]

What a waste... they could have fit at least 200 more people onto that subway car.

[@Fierythefaerie]

How many more can cram in there???? Do you have space to breathe or move???

[@ExLibris-Alys]

😱

[@sna_helptal]

ive always wanted to go to cities and stuff but things like these have one part of me wanting to go more and one wanting to never step foot in a city for the rest of my life

[@nativetexanful]

Just like New York.

[@deingeist9678]

Nicht zu beneiden. Eher gruselig.

[@nagiminamiki]

京王井の頭線ですね。

[@biffbutowski2447]

It’s spelled tokio?

[@deepakshahshah]

Why they are not keeping more compartment and train to solve this ?

[@bernhardsonn8996]

W tf

[@carolcoates3750]

You'd need fecking good anti-perspirant on that train!

[@shekiba.646]

Crazy, I can't stand.

Blame the free markets.

[@ozibizi2125]

Viel zu gefährlich

[@MakeFilmsStudio]

This is how looks first world country ? 🤡

[@reo-jvc-toa]

これは、東京ではなく、大阪ですね。

[@bellabellini8784]

Einfach grauenvoll.

[@lornebailey8062]

There is a reason Japan has so many people. I highly doubt that people who board these trains are chaste. It is high time for more of these people to work remotely. Yes, some have to physically go to work, but I think there are ways to minimize this traffic. Packing people into anything, especially something that moves, is not safe!

[@ouciukjbbjhhjkklksc8948]

動くものに詰め込むのが安全ではない理由を教えてもらえますか？

[@plokoon4331]

Well that's a weird comment. Tbh this isn't just safer because it's in Japan and not the US for example but actually the Japanese subway being this crowded is safer than just being "full". At least this way you can't fall at high speed on the ground with your teeth knocked out if the driver has to do an emergency stop

[@zelgie3013]

@@ouciukjbbjhhjkklksc8948it depends. If is too cramped, chest compression can kill someone by restricting their oxygen take in. It really depends on how much force is being exerted into the person you are next to.

@@zelgie3013 胸骨圧迫による死についてですが、そちらは問題ないものと考えます。 日本で最も混む電車（新交通システムを含む）は東京都交通局の日暮里舎人ライナーで、混雑率は144%です。 この列車でさえ、過去に満員による死人等は発生していませんし、骨折や酸素濃度の低下も発生したことがありません。 また、過去の高度経済成長期の日本では、混雑率300%を超え、窓ガラスが割れるなどの被害が出たことはありますが、死人等が発生した事案は文献を調べる限りありませんでした。 現代では、そのような混雑時にはホームの入場制限など、厳しい管理体制がとられていますので、今後満員電車での重大な怪我や死人が発生することは（恐らく）ないものと思われます。
