Before automatic ticket gates they cut tickets by hand and just watching those guys cutting tickets and collecting the fare differences of hundreds of people at the same time was amazing..
Tokyo Trains are not as crowded as they used to be. That’s for sure.
Haha, I’d like to see them all spill out when it stops.
Haha oh my god! That’s insane, I hope they have good air conditioners in there 😀

In the morning, for me it was one hour of only people entering the train at every stop, no one leaving.
Wow, it was a kind of cultural experience… ^^
I would not repeat it though…
