I can't follow the link. Work filters cut it out on grounds of "Sex"... Go figure.

Anyone mind explaining what it links to?

It's about a full train and people being pushed into it.
They are practicly being squeezed to death.
The people working at the railway station even assist in the pushing of them.
I travel by train almost daily and i'm glad i don't live in asia :oops:

That looked horrible :?

I feel sick just watching it. I would love to go to Asia, but i just made a mental note never to get on a train there.

Aside from the staff helping to push, I have had the same thing happen quite a few times on the tube in London.

One might say I'm used to it. I certainly don't like it. I've been late for work before due to simply avoiding certain tube trains until one came along that was less packed.... but I have been crammed in a train so tightly that I couldn't raise my arm to scratch my nose quite a few times.

i rarely travel to work in the rush-hour these days but even so i avoid crowded trains period, i'd sooner be late than experience that

i guess a positive with being in Australia is that we are not often put into incredibly tight spots.

Not nearly as bad here in Germany, as no one would dare to push (unless you're <20 years old).

Makes me think we students are lucky that bus drivers refuse to let more than ~70 people into a bus. Everyone has to get in by their own power too. Though they may sit and lean on other students hehe.

I don't mind it. Had shock therapy after having to use the bus in 7th grade all the time.

I used to travel some years in full city buses. It was not nice, but I got used to it. Luckily I can shut myself out from everything, especially when I have something to read.

Wow, what a bunch of rude people.

It is strange that train can stay more on station more than one minute on the station, because it will delay next train.

Another example of crowded metro (in Moscow during rush hour):
