東京 通勤 title=

静岡ホビーショーに行った時に、品川駅で撮った写真だ。MSやアマゾン時代のサラリーマン生活を思い出した。電車で缶詰され、駅構内で急いでいる人をよけたり。
ホームがあっちこっちにあるため、人はいろんなところから湧いてくる。
そこで駅構内を攻略する必殺技を教えよう。

意外と簡単だけど^^;まずは自分が行きたい方向に他に急いでいる人間を見つける。その人の後ろに近くにつけ、楯にする。こうすることによって、混んでいる駅構内でもすいすいと攻落できます。

    I use that 'hide behind the charger' method often ^^;

    They clear the road for you so all you have to do is stick behind. Great for protecting your figures and anime stuff after an event ^^

    The packed train is definitely a down point, though when I was on the trains it didn't seem that bad. Though going through that everyday I can see it getting stressful. That charger method wouldn't work well here in Sydney as most people don't move out of the way.

    I hate it when there is another bloke pressed up against my back. Or when you are pressed up against another blokes back in the morning train. Ueggh (vomit sound). Actually, how do I spell a vomit sound properly?

      hahahah the MRT is worse, next to the old LRT line... have you tried the newer LRT line? It runs like a breeze :P

      getting squashed hurts and sometimes tearful too. I remember being in the women only carriage and i was forced outside the train when the older women got off--I was squealing for my friends to pull me back! hahaha some women are as strong as men when they push O_O"""""""""""

    This sort of thing dosn't really happen to me unless im going to an event like London MCM Expo. There is always a massive fight between comuters to get onto the DLR. Reason being everyone wants to get to expo as soon as possible. Due to the fact me and my friends are always on the DLR before we get near the excel centre, we are always crushed by the masses of Expo-ers.

    Like icie, I envision myself as someone engulfed in danmaku, and I just imagine that I''m trying to go through some tight patterns while boarding and leaving trains. It's a lot easier when you listen to stuff like Alstroemeria Records' trance and ZUN's music. It helps me relax (or at least to get into the mood).

    At least Japanese people bother queuing before they get onto the trains or to wait for the next train to arrive.

    In Singapore, its a mad scrum to get onto the cabin, even before letting passengers alight.

    i second Zero. its a real pain when people just squeeze past. they dont queue up, dont wait for the people to finish exiting, dont apologize when they bump into others. ToT

    one more thing. is it just me or did S'pore's train system become a new fad for suicide? plenty of people have been going that way...

    Well, impressive amout of people but since in Japan everyone has at least some basic knowledge about good manners and social behavior, you never feel like running for your life in those train stations.
    Compare that to Shanghai on a moderate busy weekday for example in People's Square Subway station - Hordes of people pushing and squeezing into (and out of) the trains, running around, pushing you around and worst case stealing your mobile phone. Not to mention those blarring "Traffic advisors" who constantly shout 先下后上!! into their megaphones which really kill your nerves sometimes.... ah well... I am just pissed off today... time for a relaxing shower and watching that new Mihiro flick :p

    Using the trains to commute here in Manila is sometimes annoying due to the small size of the trains. The newest train line is pretty spacious, but the most-used one along our main thoroughfare is always pretty cramped. You have like five people cramming through a door designed for one. -_-

    Thankfully I'm taller and broader than most other people here, but it's still pretty hard to squeeze in when I'm carrying a huge backpack with my laptop inside.

    I actually wanted to comment about the different behavour between the train passengers or Japan and Sg. But then, seem like my thoughts has already been well said here.. haha. Nevertheless, when I was in Japan, Through observation, I learned allot from the people simply by talking trains and buses. Something that we here (in Sg) must really practise.. "patient".

    But one worst thing we could ever experience was... To get squessed with a big group of unknown people in the same cabin that smells.. That is happening here and one of the main really which drives people to buy a car, eventhough it is damp expensive here.

    Usually don't have any issues with my commute, 20 mins drive each way. However, this week have the joy of working at a different office 200mile round trip commute. Nice long drive at start and end of the day. Still better than usuing public transport for the trip though.
