For those people going to Tokyo, you will definitely need to use the trains to go from a location to another destination. Here are some tips( I feel) will be able to help you enjoy a smooth squeezy ride instead of an uncomfortable squeezy ride.
1) Always use the first few or the last few carriages of the trains as they are usually the least crowded ones. If you happen to catch an all female carriage and you are a female, then lucky you. Else you will have to move up afew more carriages.
2)If possible, when you enter the train, try to squeeze your way into the middle of the carriages, as in between the two doors. Most probably you will not get a seat but you will avoid the weight of human beings crashing down on you from all sides.
3)Second worse case scenario is when you are squeezed standing near the entrance of the door. Don't worry. You will not die of suffocation. Just stay calm and grab a bar or handle if possible and pray that no one will push their weight on you when the train moves. If possible, stay close to the sides and avoid at all cost to go against the flow of human traffic. You will definitely regret it if you don't do so.
4)Worst case scenario is when you have people leaning their whole body weight on you when you have nothing to hold on to. If you are in that situation like me today, you could
i)Push any bars nearby to balance back your weight.
ii)Lean back at the guy when you have the chance to.
iii)Or free fall.
Well, hope this helps and if anyone have any other suggestions do let me know, especially solutions for the worst case scenario.
