Japanese 'Train Pushers' Will Be The Craziest Thing You See Today

Thanks to a Jaunted reader who emailed to bring this craziness back to mind, we present you with the infamous train pushers of Japan. The video above is the craziest we've seen yet on YouTube, but the most famous one is this clip from the subway.

Our tipster also included the remark: "and we thought the MTA was bad!" That would be the New York subway system—the Metropolitan Transit Authority—and yep, although NYC's subways system can get crazy crowded, videos like these remind us that it could well be worse.

It's even worst than in Rome, where we'd wait an average of four trains before we could get in one during rush hour—and those aren't air-conditioned, and you're contending with touchy-feely smarmy guys who don't make distinctions when they reach out and touch someone. Do you know any other cities where the public transportation gets this bad? Share your stories in the comments, so we can all learn where to keep our jackets zipped up and our bags small.
