Following the conclusion of a massive World Expo, Japanese railway stations are swarmed with thousands of visitors, causing significant delays and increasing difficulties for commuters in their return home. The stations turned into long winding queues, with individuals struggling to navigate the human congestion. Transportation officials are striving to manage the traffic and expedite the departure process to alleviate the situation.

In Japan, punctuality and order are highly valued, especially in public transportation. Therefore, any disruption causes significant stress amongst citizens and raises questions about organizers' planning and crowd management capabilities. This incident, in particular, underscores the need for better contingency planning during large-scale events such as the World Expo.

In the US or EU, crowd management in public transportation during massive events is also a crucial concern. They employ various strategies such as implementing special event schedules for public transport, temporarily increasing the frequency of buses or trains, or redirecting traffic. However, disruptions and delays are often expected.
