Japan has been known to apologize publicly when a train runs a couple minutes late.

Japan has also been known to cram passengers into trains during rush hour.

I imagine this practice has probably been fervently deprecated due to covid19.

That seems like a personal decision to get into the already crowded car instead of waiting for the next one, I don't imagine someone is standing at the station platform and forcing more people into the train car against their will.

Yes, people willingly got on the train and the platform stewards helped.
