    Public transport in a nut shell

    i’ve seen a lot of such footage where conductors spend like 30 seconds trying to forcefully pack in a entire train carriage in order for the doors to close and i’ve always found it to be so weird

    like, if your metro is so busy, i’m assuming you have trains running every 60-90 seconds, which translates roughly to the minimum safe distance between trains, therefore they literally just spent like half the time they’d have to wait for another train to come simply trying to shove in one passenger, delaying not only everyone on that train, but also everyone is subsequent trains

    where is the logic?

      In a travelers.zip like this, I’m not sure how the one behind everyone is going to come out and has to go down several stations before. But this is a common scene in Japan, even though there are trains every few minutes. I think it could be alleviated during peak hours, by adding a few more wagons to the trains, this would be the most logical thing to do.
