Trivia: Japanese "Pushers" Squeeze People Into Overcrowded Trains

Alex

In Japan's, oshiyas or "pushers" are employed to squeeze people onto the overcrowded subway and train cars.

They also perform the job of a "puller-off," pulling off passengers who try to get on the train too late or when the train is too full.

Why, there's a YouTube video clip of the oshiyas in action - Thanks Christophe!
