Very funny.A typical part of life in the cities of Tokyo and Osaka.Although Osaka only has the pushes on a few lines not all of them

I've been told becoming a pusher is a popular part-time job among students.

Wow, this kinda looks like Mumbai's locals during peak hours.

when are the 'pushers' in operation. one of my things on my to-do list is to be pushed on a tokyo subway train.

[Thunderflip]

Heck,what if you have to come out a station and you can`t get through?This is ridiculous.

I saw this scene on a commercial for the 2003 rugby world cup, it's kinda pretty cool i think.

This amount of crowd happens in HK as well, but the so called pushers in HK dun push, they use a microphone to tell people not to push in and wait for another subway which will come in 20 secconds.

For girls, i think it's always better to avoid these situations, i have some friends from japan whose been molested on train by old japanese guys...
and i heard from another friend... some guys even get wet on the trains....

:runaway:

Heck,what if you have to come out a station and you can`t get through?This is ridiculous.if you need to get home then you need to get home.. if you need to get to work on time, you need to get there on time; so theres no issue of "what happens if i want to get out": if its your stop, u just push ur way thru (obviously saying "sorry sorry sorry" simltaneously) :lol:

This is a pic of the LAST train in the timetable; this is all these poor souls' only chance of goin home the same day LOL.. look at the desperation!! :crazy:

I've been in the New York City subway. How come it is'nt like that there?

[raymond_tung88]

Wow!!! what happens if your crowded in the middle of the subway car or in the way back, but you have to get off?

[Draff]

Usually people are pretty good if your stop is next. Also, I've never been in that situation luckily, nor have I ever seen it that crowded.

I am really hate in riding to subway earlier in the morning and lately mid-night before operation close :D
