Travel Info

Travel Tips
The tube and train system in London is a total rubbish.
Daily occurrence of line closure, sudden cancellations, multiple signal failures, semi-permanent station closures, slack repairing jobs, and London Transport increases the fare by 10% or more every year.

New York Subways are not better than the one in London.
All parts of stations are dark, filthy and stinky, unfriendly to disable users, malfunction of facilities, incredibly rude staff (if there are any), unclear indication of directions and a huge amount of beggers on trains.

Japanese trains almost never delays, although they have to push overflowing passengers in. The stations are clean, never a broken thing, station staff are very helpful and knowledgeable.

So, how does your 'Developed' country look like now?


In addition :
> And no death accident in the train over 30 years. (by Joriental, below)
Is NOT true.
The accident occured in Amagasaki on 25th April 2005, killing 107 passengers and 555 injured.

they do run more trains, and it's all full
their train is almost never late, and is always full
so either you get to play grab azz with people or you can walk home, and home is 10 miles away
there all in a hurry to go shopping for whale meat.are dolphin meat.no time for the next train to wait on.
they illegally hunt the whales,sea shepherd organization trys to stop them
In order to keep the railways safe, they have to have a certain amount of distance between each train. Also, space is limited, so it would be difficult to expand the stations to add more trains to the same locations. It may not be the most comfortable way to get to work, but it is efficient enough.

(Why did you add irrelevant and hateful details? The fact that they even HAVE bullet trains and railway systems sets them above many other countries, as far as development is concerned.)

**additions: The post of "tom b" is a rant about whale hunting, not sexual harrassment.

At any rate, to address sexual harrassment, there are actually special trains for women only, if a woman feels more safe using these, or if using one will make travel more easy for her. These are not found everywhere, though. Women are speaking up against this more now, so even if a man tried to touch her, she or someone around them may say something.

Having to stand close to another person is not really a safety issue, but having trains close to one another is a big issue. Train wrecks are deadly. Standing very close to another person is awkward and uncomfortable, but you can survive. For people who do not want to go into a crowded train, they may still wait for the next one or plan their train travel around rush hour.
More YEN!
Take it as cultural difference. People don't want to wait the next one too...
lots of people in a small space
