Yamanote Line - standing room only

Standing room only on the Yamanote Line

During the morning rush-hour the Yamanote Line gets so crowded that there's - literally - standing room only. At least in some cars of each train, where the seats are folded back until about 10am for maximal utilization of the available space. This photo was taken very early in the morning - around 7am - before the inbound rush reaches the centre of Tokyo.
