Rush hour trains in Tokyo

Rush hour trains....my my....They seem to be worse than what ive heard about Mumbai.
Atleast in India, since the trains are open, there is a lot more space for a lot of ppl to get in (rather hang out)....but here...everyone is jam packed inside the compartment...

yday i thought i would definitely end up with a broken arm before i get out of the train...
its not that my hand was stuck at an odd position inbetween ppl....my hands were close to my body...but ppl were so tightly packed that I would def have fainted if I had been in the train for a for more mins...
One might think that the travel time in the train, to feel that bad, would be looong....no its actually only 6 mins...

I would rather go late to work than to get into such a crowded train hereafter....

an interesting fact abt rush hour trains in tokyo
* there are speacial ppl appointed by japan railways at each station near each compartment during rush hour....their job -> to push ppl in and close the otherwise automatically closing door.
