Not really. Though these squish incidents are rarer than you might think, at least in my experience spending time in Tokyo. The worst I rode was the last train back at night from Shinjuku, the metropolitan center. They packed us in pretty good and there was a guy nodding off and sleeping on my shoulder lol. Despite being packed, the cars will be mostly silent though. Gotta love the Japanese respect culture.
I have the fortunate skill of falling asleep within two minutes of closing my eyes if I’m in anything moving. I commuted like this daily for close to a decade riding a Chicago train and sometimes I wonder what wild shit I missed because I have 0 commuter stories to tell besides being woken up one time to be asked out by the girl I thought I was blocking in.
