It is very interesting to see how people live and travel through Japan, I love the organization of society and how they take care of the things they use. Congratulations and continue with the content.

@@TheShootist no one gets beaten up or shouted at in japan, unlike many western & /Caucasian countries. My friend literally got spit on by Australians as an Asian. Asians get beaten up or shouted at in public in UK and America…. Never happens to you in Japan if you are of a different race you don’t get beaten up or shouted at although for girls it can be unsafe for some. Now tell me perhaps you are probably the racist and ignorant one. Show facts not bullshit.

Japan is so ahead with technology. My favorite thing is it is 99% clean. People are taught from a child to be conscious & care about the environment. I wish the UK would adopt that part!! Thank you for shairng your travels :)

[@butchrowerakamannyfraker955]

I'm from the city (Toledo Ohio) where everyone throws there trash on the ground it seems and it drives me nuts ...my dad was a outdoorsman and he taught me not to litter and would take me to the upper peninsula of Michigan and show me the outdoors so it stuck with me and I always throw my trash away and recycle everything ...I'll even put my cigarettes butts in my pocket till I get to a trash and I'll randomly go on trash clean ups in my neighborhood

[@youngraines851]

Everything in Japan runs with clockwork precision. The express luxury bus coming a 10 minutes earlier to enable early boarding & leave in good time. The seat/sleep pads are so comfortable but the aisle is difficult to negotiate for a weightier person. But most, Japanese and Asians, are very slim - so no problem there. But for tourists - ha! ha! difficulties abound! Thumbs up for the video.

[@zainabmejja9936]

LMAO! That's what I thought! Foreigners might have umh trouble using some of these vehicles, cause even the train aisles are narrow! 😭😂

[@KThom429]

LMAO! I was definitely thinking my fat butt wouldnt get through that narrow 'aisle'. It would be nice if the US had some of these practical business ideas instead of the sardine can buses.

[@gtw4546]

You don't have to be heavy to have trouble with such narrow aisles. My arthritic old hips would be in agony!

[@PorkChopJones]

Not to forget that the tourist are the ones that would need to use the restroom, just 10 minutes after the bus left the station. lol. People look up oh they see a tourist speaking to the driver. Well a good rule is not to drink a lot of liquids prior to boarding or while onboard.

[@thewolfhippo5525]

@@PorkChopJones that’s good advice for almost any road trip! Especially if one is traveling and is unsure of availability.

[@jen93106]

Well done and thank you for showing this unique “pod” bus. Maybe someday they will catch on in the USA but I guess our regular buses and public transport in general (and perception of it) still have much catching up to do in the mean time!

[@harukrentz435]

The oil and automotive lobbies made it hard for americans to enjoy world class public transportation. Shame.

For this pod bus to work in the USA, the aisle needs to be a lot wider.

[@jemand8462]

This is so cozy! And I checked the timetables, from tokyo to osaka 10pm to 7:30 am seems like a perfect time to me! you could watch a movie until midnight and then fall asleep and as soon as the sun rises, you'll be at your destination for the price of a night in a cheap hotel. you basically get a free ride, or the other way around, you get a free hotel + an experience.

Wow this is amazing. I used Flixbus to travel from strasbourg to Paris three years ago and it was overnight and every seat was taken. I sat next to someone for 7 hours and they respected their privacy but it was so weird to be all bunched up like that overnight . I can't sleep sitting up and cramped next to people I don't know. This Japanese way of traveling in a bus is such a great idea. Thank you so much for capturing it.

I worry about this design in an emergency. That thin walkway between the seats would make a very difficult emergency exit. It might even get blocked with people. I agree with you about the McDonalds. I've eaten it all over the world, it's perfect for when you just want some food you know you'll enjoy, at a very low price.

[@whyaddnamehere]

This was my 1st thought. If there was a fire or a medical emergency, it would be very difficult to get out quickly.

[@mialemon6186]

Yeah. I could fit I think (I'm not super fat but not slim either, average sized) but in an emergency people turn into dangerous blocks. If someone was struggling to get off, it could be an honest disaster. 🙁 But the McDonald's thing... I prefer local food but sometimes you want a meal that's the same no matter where you are and tastes fine. And they got you covered.

[@cherylsemrau4375]

Fun. Bus definitely needs a washroom

[@SoloSoloTravel]

[@jaycosgrove9765]

WOW. I have never seen any thing like this before. The coach seats in the UK are regular seats, nothing fancy and/or comfortable, so trying to sleep in them is impossible. The problem is they try to fit as many seats in them as possible to make as much money as possible. Profit over people. The same is happening with planes (especially EasyJet where your knees are up to your ears. The last EJ flight I was on I almost had an anxiety attack due to the lack of space between me and the seat in front. Very claustrophobic). And the coffee machine was amazing. Thank you for the upload.
