    I have no idea what your standards are if you think Japanese commuter rail sucks.

    I remember is was WORLD NEWS when a train was over a minute late. Meanwhile, the one time I tried Washington DC’s commuter rail (which I hear is one of the better US ones?), it was a little over 5 minutes behind schedule.

    Not to mention, I didn’t feel the need to shower after riding the Japan trains (not something I can say for any American train I’ve taken).

    Edit: fixing typo (‘an’ -> ‘any’ in my last sentence)

        I don’t see what your gender has to do with your ability to feel molested, or why you keep saying it

        but go off king

        Yeah, if you’re not used to it, I can see that being a problem. I didn’t take the trains during the major commute hours, so I probably dodged that experience on my own trips around. Not sure how I would have taken it, but yeah, I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed the experience either (probably typical American opinion on that though).

        That said, it definitely feels like one of those “no one drives in Los Angeles; there’s just too much traffic” kind of situations.
