I’ve been on crowded trains and buses–the type of experience where people have to adjust a shoulder, move a hip, perhaps reach up to hold onto a hand hold because there is actually no more room for another arm between all the bodies, but nothing like this. This footage was taken somewhere in China. I traveled on a train in China, but thankfully, it wasn’t like this.
Can you imagine? I wonder when the door opens at the first stop if everyone will explode back out again? How can the people in the middle of the crowd shoved inside the train cars ever hope to breathe fresh air? See the sun?
**Correction. Okay, okay, okay. As pointed out, this is not China, but Japan. See comment threads. The YouTube video was labeled China.
