WHERE DO PEOPLE LIVE?

Imagine that you go to School in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. Every day you ride the train to school. What is it like? You probably must stand up for your two-hour ride. Every day more and more people jam the train. Often the car is so crowded that special station guards push people inside so the doors can close behind them.

This is not an exaggeration. The country of Japan is smaller than California. But it is home for over 126 million people. Over 34 million of them live in Tokyo and its suburbs. Public transportation, roads, and living space are extremely crowded.
