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  |

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. |

 Oh my Flying Spaghetti monster! This is horrible. I now feel much better about the public transport in Germany. but even here, I normally try to avoid rush hours.
