“As long as everybody is videotaping everyone else, justice will be done.” (Marge Simpson)
Most Japanese machines adhere to the philosophy that traveling is not about the destination, but the journey.
Older gentlemen show much greater willingness to share space with female fellow passengers.
Hundreds of steps below the surface, and if you miss your train, you could be waiting on the dank, dungeon-like platform alone for four hours.
A little-known milky paradise awaits those who know where to look at this busy station in the capital.
Having a face like the back-end of a bus is less than desirable, but how about a face like the front of a train?
Unauthorized notices beg woman who left girls behind to “Please call home.”
Twitter manga reminds us that if you’re standing in this part of the train, you might be making the ride unpleasant for your fellow passengers.
Fans of trains and felines enjoyed a trip with rescue cats recently, all for a good cause.
