I have no idea what your standards are if you think Japanese commuter rail sucks.
I remember is was WORLD NEWS when a train was over a minute late. Meanwhile, the one time I tried Washington DC’s commuter rail (which I hear is one of the better US ones?), it was a little over 5 minutes behind schedule.
Not to mention, I didn’t feel the need to shower after riding the Japan trains (not something I can say for any American train I’ve taken).
Edit: fixing typo (‘an’ -> ‘any’ in my last sentence)
NY subways are just as bad when crowded and everything else about the experience is worse and that’s literally the best public transportation in the wholr country
Yeah, if you’re not used to it, I can see that being a problem. I didn’t take the trains during the major commute hours, so I probably dodged that experience on my own trips around. Not sure how I would have taken it, but yeah, I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed the experience either (probably typical American opinion on that though).
That said, it definitely feels like one of those “no one drives in Los Angeles; there’s just too much traffic” kind of situations.

It so fucking crowded its ridiculous. Im a dude and I still felt like I was getting molested.
I don’t see what your gender has to do with your ability to feel molested, or why you keep saying it
but go off king
