Pushers in Japan

Us Brits love to have a whinge at the ’state’ of the rail and underground transport system, but imagine what it would be like if we had to put up with this?

Oshiya, or “pusher”, is an informal Japanese term for a worker
who stands on the platform of a railway station during the morning and
evening rush hours, and pushes people onto the train. This video is a
good example of just how crowded it gets on Japanese trains.
