If you thought your daily commute was bad, take a look at the video. Tokyo, with over 12 million inhabitants, has an unusual solution for combating the daily rush hour. Assisted by a team of white gloved subway attendants, you will be gingerly shoved into the train until your eyeballs pop, can you say “Sardine Can”?

The obvious question while watching the video is “Can this be safe?”. Asthmatics and claustrophobes should think twice before boarding the rush hour train, and that goes double for those of you with personal space issues.

Is this what first world living is all about? You be the judge.
