New train carriages

Wanted to mention this yesterday, but totally forgotten about it. Oh my, isn't this a bit too young to be so forgetful? Anyways, what I wanted to mention was that the new train carriages now come with a board above each door that lists out the stations along the line the current train is running on, with lit dots representing the stations left on the route before reaching the final station. The board also shows which door is going to open for the next station.

This is exactly the same as what the trains in Japan have, and I think it's a great addition. This makes it so that even people who are taking the train for the first time, or who are not frequent riders of that line, can know where their destination station is, and how many more stations there are left to go before reaching it.

Great idea. Unlike some of the useless TV screens and horizontal scrollers that they added in the past.

ストレスがあるとき、皆さんはどうするの?私はね、ゲームを遊ぶの。ゲームをやるとそのゲームの世界に入る感じがする。現実から逃げって、仮想な世界に入れる。それで、今の悩みやストレスなどが忘れる錯覚がする。

これは問題自体は変わらないとわかってもどうしてもこのままに続ける。情けないでしょう。でも、そうしか自分を持たない。そうしないといつか正気を失うから。
