Images of trains full of people can often be seen on the internet. They show a part of everyday life for those living in the city. In fact, Tokyo’s Shinjuku Station serves more passengers in a single day than any other train station in the world. Trains are most crowded during the morning rush hour between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. and between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. when people are getting off work. The last few trains of the evening, which usually depart shortly before midnight, are also often packed to the limit.
在網路上經常可以看見載滿人的火車照片。這些照片展示了該市居民日常生活的一部分。事實上，東京新宿車站一天的乘客人數比世界上任何其他火車站都還要多。火車在早上八點至九點的上午尖峰時刻以及傍晚五點至七點人們下班的期間最為擁擠。晚上的最後幾班火車通常在午夜之前發車，這幾班車也經常擁擠到極限。
