I experienced the morning rush hour "compression" while boarding the Tokyo Metro. It was kinder and gentler than what was depicted on the video, though.

Jack,
That would be Portland's final solution.

I have been there and done that over 30 years ago in Yokohama. Why change a good thing?

This pack-em-in video is cute but I haven't seen anything even close in Tokyo when I've been there. In January 2008 I traveled independently in the Middle East. Once while scurrying and pushing my way into a Cairo subway car my backpack got caught in the door. A couple of Egyptian guys helped free it. The subway in Cairo costs one Egyptian pound or 18 cents US. And no matter the country, there are almost always signs in English. I love subways!

You want fun, try riding the T in Boston on Marathon Monday. Between the million or so spectators, the Sox game, and the fact that it was just a great day to be outside, the trains were packed. My wife took 2 hours to travel 3 stops that day. A few poor marathoners passed out on the trains and had to be stretchered out to the street. Fun times.
