Transit Overcrowding Could Always Be Worse
posted by Zach Patton
I wrote a couple weeks ago about overcrowing on U.S. cities' transit systems.
But let's all take a moment to give thanks that our systems aren't nearly as overtaxed as Japan's. Here's a video of people literally being crammed onto a train -- by the transit officers themselves!
Kinda makes me claustrophobic just watching.
You can watch a whole bunch of videos like this on YouTube, if you have the desire.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. I was stationed in Tokyo in 1971 and riders were already being crammed into subway cars back then.
