Packed
I kinda figured I was going to have a hard time fitting on this train
today in Jiyugaoka. Usually, I'd just shove my way on like everyone else, but today I had a bunch of stuff
with me and I wasn't in the mood to get jammed by the door. The rule in this situation is simple -- pack in as many humans as physically possible. So you are free to give it your very best shot. Anyway, this time I just
stood back and watched as the door closed and opened a few times
because arms and legs and bags were getting caught as more
people attempted to board. But as you can see, they made it. They always
do. The doors
were finally able to close, and people were able to relax -- pressed up against the windows with their arms up in the air.
I love these posts. Talk about getting the most out of public transit.

The crowd doesn't seem to stop that lady in the red dress at all.
In certain areas of Rio de Janeiro people just ride hanging from the train - it's not underground. Reminds me of those old pictures of trains in Africa with folks riding on top of every wagon.
