I have nothing against being "sandwiched" from time to time during the rush-hours ... but at least in HK the trains are mostly punctual and reliable ...

I managed to read the article after using Google translate. (Surprised that the translation was decent..haha!)
I had used TW's MRT many years ago, similar to HK experience. Taiwanese really queue up to board the trains. Will be visiting the island again this March :) Actually Japan's train system is really efficient and punctual, but the crowd was unbearable during peak hours.

Yeah! I was amazed at how the Japanese old folks squeezed their way into the train. Nobody wants to miss a train :)
