Tokyo Pressure Ⅱ📷
《东京压力Ⅱ》Tokyo,Japan.
Yes, sometimes people shove themselves into a train that is nearly impossible to get on, It could be that they are very afraid of being late.
If you ride during these hours, consider yourself warned: some people on the train at rush hour may end up hurting you, accidentally or otherwise. Physics limits how many humans you can fit safely onto a train, and Tokyo definitely stretches the limits. You will catch yourself in positions more often seen in Cirque du Soleil. If you can afford to wait for the next train the grand total of 30 seconds, just do it. Sometimes, it might even take a few minutes, but you will find a better train. Just do it. Don't be squeezed like a hamburger.
It's just bodies squished as tightly as you can be into a small space. You can see people whose feet aren't touching the ground sometimes because they are wedged in so tightly !
The eerie silence packed in with no elbow room.
