Cell phones are everywhere in Japan, everybody owns a “Keitai Denwa” or short ケータイ (Keetai). While it is encouraged to not talk over the phone on trains and put the phone to “Manner Mode” (Silent Mode), text-messaging in the form of E-Mails is probably one of the reasons why it is so quiet inside trains – nearly everybody does it, all the time. So the communication level seems to be high and you are always using your Keitai. Of course you have to find a place to put yourself, and mostly you just back up against a wall…

Nice capture!!!
