Hold on to your carts and baggage to prevent them from blocking other passengers, falling off the platform onto the tracks, falling down escalators causing injuries, etc.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

As space on some platforms is limited, spreading out on the platforms can be dangerous. Be aware also that some hallways and stairways are restricted to walking on one specific side.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

Lining up to board is a basic rule for taking trains in Japan. Once you find your boarding spot (find boarding spot symbols painted on the platforms), cue up and form two or three lines.
Cutting in line and saving spots in the line are strictly prohibited.
Also, please ensure that large suitcases and other baggage do not get in the way of others.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

Once the train reaches the platform and the doors open, stand to the side and wait\u2014passengers getting off the train have priority. Make sure everyone has gotten off before boarding the train.
There is no need to rush; the doors will not close until everyone has boarded.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

06<\/span>Women-only Cars<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\"\u5973\u6027\u5c02\u7528\u8eca\u4e21\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

The Midosuji and Tanimachi Lines have women-only train cars to help prevent sexual harassment on board.
One women-only car is available on all trains, all day on weekdays (Mon.~Fri.) on the Midosuji Line, and from the first train until 9:00a.m. on weekdays on the Tanimachi Line. The location of the women-only cars is marked on the platform.
Women-only cars operate on voluntary basis\u2014while not mandatory, passengers are encouraged to respect their intended purpose. In some cases, male passengers, including elementary school children as well as disabled passengers and their caretakers, may also board these cars.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Rushing to board trains can cause accidents and train delays, and is extremely dangerous.
If you are about to miss a train, simply wait for the next train.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t

Once you board the train, move as far back as possible instead of stopping near the doors in order to allow other passengers behind you to get on board too.
When the train stops at a station, move away from the doors and make room for passengers getting on and off the train.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

If you have a lot of luggage, please place them on the racks above the seats. Do not place them on the seats next to you. Do not spread out on the seat; instead make room so other passengers can sit down.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

06<\/span>Speak Quietly<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\"\u5927\u58f0\u3067\u8a71\u3055\u306a\u3044\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

On crowded trains, backpacks can take up space and get in the way of others. Wear your backpack in the front or place them on the racks above the seats.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t
