Japanese Life Rules That Might Seem Foreign To Visitors

There Are People Pushers In Japanese Subway Systems

Japan boasts one of the best rail systems in Asia and the world. A lot of people depend on these metro and train lines to get to work. Because of this plus the fact that so many people live in Japanese cities, the nighttime commute may be very busy. That's why it's not unusual to see official "pushers" or "oshiya" trying to get as many passengers as possible into subway vehicles during rush hour.

Their only task is to make sure that people get on the subway and that the doors can close when there are a lot of people.
