Tokyo has the most advanced and convenient public transportation in the world.

After all, it is impossible for tens of millions of people to travel by car (Even people who have a private car – hardly use it!)

JR Lines: The train system is Tokyo’s (and Japan’s) main means of transportation.

The main JR lines in Tokyo are the Yamanote Line, Keihin Tohoku Line, Chuho Line and Subo Line.

Of course, the city has main stations for the Shinkansen train.

The Yamanote line is a circular line, passing through most of the important stations of central Tokyo, and through its most bustling areas: Ginza, Shibuya, Akihabara and Shinjuku.

On an average day, about 3.232 million passengers travel on the Yamanote Line.

In total, the total length of the line, for all its 29 stations, is 34.5 kilometers.

In Japan, pushers are known as oshiya.

The term is derived from the verb osu, meaning “push”, and the suffix-ya , indicating “line of work”.

 

Oshiya ensure every passenger has boarded and does not get caught in the doors.

 

When pushers were first brought in at Shinjuku Station, they were called “passenger arrangement staff”, and were largely made up of students working part-time.

currently, station staff workers fill these roles during morning rush hours on many lines.

From an ad I found:

Passenger compressors needed for trains in Japan!

The Japanese railway company is looking for professional passenger compressors to raise train capacity during peak hours to over 150% without delays.

So if you’re not afraid of a little human contact and always stand up for yourself – the next job is nothing short of a dream. Make sure no passengers are left out of the car.

Requirements:

■ Problem-solving ability ■ Strong Upper body ■ Availability for relocation ■

Apply because we all sometimes need a push!
