yeah one thing i like about osaka is that its busy but not chaotic, one thing is that I think half of the people are underground. Most people prefer the underground passageways especially on summer or winter season.
Yeah, it was the JR Loop Line that I was taking in Tokyo. I tried to stay near the door as much as possible so that when my stop came up I wouldn't have to squeeze through too many people.

I took many trains and subways in Osaka, and "crowded, standing room only" was the worst it ever got in my experience, never to the point of "we can squeeze a few more in if we push hard enough..."
