Almost all of the trains in the Greater Tokyo area run extremely frequently, even at ten, eleven, twelve o'clock at night. So just imagine what a short delay causes across the entire network. On the Yamanote, my coworker asked me if I wanted to take a picture. I could not even get to my bag, the train was so packed. The second train I got onto was even worse. There were hundreds of people in one cart. No one was able to move. The slightest bump sent everyone careening.
It could have been worse. We could have been packed into the train by gentlemen with white gloves. I experienced what it's like to be in an extremely packed train. Now I wish it never to happen again.
