When I travelled to the US I was shocked at how squished public transport can be in New York, SF and LA (heh).

The biggest difference between packed trains in Japan and the U.S. is when "just one more person" tries to get on the train. In Japan, everybody will sigh and groan and shuffle around to make a bit more room. In America, the riders near the door will stiff-arm the guy back onto the platform.

"Next train, buddy..."
