Now this picture is not a fully packed train but it is still very full
The first drawback is that the trains stop running at midnight. So for college students who want to go out to a club or party,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is a decision that one can not turn back easily. So most activities need to end around 11 at the latest, otherwise people may not be able to return home. It is a very interesting sight to be on the last train bound home. Many drunk businessmen swaggering back and forth or sleeping on the seats.

Japan, Tokyo, transportation Umm… Your armpit is on my face…
While I am not particularly fond of packed trains, it is a very effective form of mass transit and the inconveniences are worth being able to go anywhere in Tokyo fast, cheap, and while using time on a train effectively rather than having to worry about paying attention to the road.
The second drawback is the rush hour trains. Now I am fortunate because I only have to go to school during rush hour once a day. The amount of people that want to ride a train is huge and thus they all push their way into every car of the train. The problem occurs when there are too many people and the train employees are forced to start pushing. The push people in with all of their strength. Once inside the riders are not able to move and if you are in an uncomfortable position you are forced to stay in that position until the next stop when people get off.
The train system in Japan is something to be marveled at. The trains are punctual to the minute, and if for whatever reason one happens to be late,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the train company will give you a late pass so that your boss or teacher knows that it was a situation out of your control to why you were late. The trains have helpful staff and after a little bit of time are easy to navigate from anywhere in Tokyo. But as all great things there are also a few drawbacks.
