Metroul din Tokyo sună fascinant

Mi-ar plăcea să văd cândva metroul din Tokyo. Nu neapărat să-l și experimentez, dar să văd cum arată așa ceva într-un oraș mega-aglomerat, da.

Un articol de pe CNN vorbește despre lucruri care ar părea incredibile pentru bucureșteni:

Despre dormitul în vagon:

“There is a tolerance that if the person next to you falls asleep and their head kind of lands on your shoulder, people just put up with it. That happens a lot”

Despre ora de vârf:

“It’s just bodies squished as tightly as you can be into a small space. You can see people who’s feet aren’t touching the ground sometimes because they are wedged in so tightly,”

The subway line operators have also introduced women-only carriages to help women commute more safely through the city. The designated train cars are usually recognizable by signs in the carriage and on the platform and were brought in to combat “chikan” (“groping”).

Despre cei care pierd ultimul tren noaptea:

For those unfortunate few that either miss their last train or fall asleep on the platform, there are a few options to pass the time before the first train begins in the early hours.
“They can stay at a capsule hotel, there are the manga cafes that are like internet cafes but you can stay the night in a little cubical,” Barron says.
