As the Expo heads into its final days, early morning congestion at the Yumeshima Station has reached unbearable levels, inciting outrage from commuters. The station, known for being the gateway to the Expo, has seen an unexpected surge of passengers which has led to chaotic scenes. Authorities are trying to control and manage the situation, but there is a widespread clamor for better handling of public transport especially during such major events.

Public transportation is generally extremely efficient in Japan, and citizens take pride in this fact. Therefore, such a disruption during an important event like the Expo undermines this value significantly. Japanese people value order, punctuality, and efficiency in their daily commute so this has caused considerable upset.

In EU or US, transportation disruptions during major events are also a serious issue. There is equally strong demand for efficient and effective public transportation. However, such an incident might cause less outrage due to a generally lower public expectation of transportation system accuracy and punctuality.
