Tokyo’s train commutes are insane, millions of fast walking people jammed into trains like sardines. The crazy part is that it is extremely efficient and organized, that’s the Japanese people for ya I guess.

Im not waiting for the ads, but you can just go to google map and look at major cities during peak traffic hours and see how bad it is.

same way in Mexico City, about twenty lanes of traffic on the freeway, nobody's weaving, honking, shooting the pajaro, everyone's just driving civilly until the get to where they're going

People should live closer to their jobs. There is no excuse why this many people need to be commuting that far to work to cause this crap.


Maybe their work is in an expensive part of town and they’re just a secretary. Do you really expect a secretary to live in Midtown Manhattan where her office is?

frick that, I'm never moving to one of those 3rd world countries, or New York.

I live in Atlanta, and traffic makes me freaking miserable. I hate it so much. I have friends who use to live in LA or NYC, nd they always say the traffic doesnt compare at all. While that maybe true, I still want no part in that. I just want to spend all my days living in a small town where the only traffic is cuz of some old lady crossing a street.

I'd much rather put up with the morning commute in NYC than in Atlanta. Atlanta is just the fricking worst. I guarantee the average New Yorker has a better work commute than the average person living in Atlanta. LA is the only city in the US that can compare.

Yeah, we choose to not live in a third world country and expect transportation to be adequate. Sorry.



The film features Tokyo, Amsterdam, Ottawa, Sydney, and finishes with New York City.

BR is third world in comparison.

The NYC Subway would be so much better off if they charged people for how far they ride instead of just a flat rate for getting on.

They’ll never do it though because it’ll screw over the poors.

The mountain cable cars for La Paz, Bolivia looked cool to me. A commute with a view.
