   Well, I guess if you’re stupid enough to get into such a crowded train, you deserve everything you get.

   MT,Im am sorry but most subways systems dont use the “line up in a orderly fashion method” like from the subway system you use. You’ll have to fight your way through if you dont want to catch the last train home. I am guessing you have never stepped foot in a subway before.

   Toronto can be fairly hectic, but generally it’s not too violent. A little nudging and elbowing, but no pushing unless you want people to glare.

   I’ve heard about this packing-method, and now i have finally seen it. It works, sure, but maybe not for the claustrophobic? I wouldn’t react too well to that

   Aren’t you glad you use dial?

   Jay, don’t patronise me: I live in London. I use the Tube regularly, unfortunately. I don’t think I need to say any more.

   living in chicago, and having lived in japan, i wish every single day that people here had to experience public transportation in japan. really, just to learn the etiquette of the whole thing. maybe i should write an online article about it……
