Oshiya is the Pusher profession in Japanese transport due to crowded subways, where a Pusher helps passengers and ensures belongings aren't jammed in doors.
The claims regarding the Oshiya in Japanese transportation are substantiated by factual evidence. Oshiya, or train pushers, are indeed employed to help manage overcrowding on trains, particularly in Tokyo, where public transport experiences high passenger volumes. Additionally, Tokyo's subway trains operate at over 180% capacity during peak times, validating the crowding situation. Measures like pushers help facilitate safer and more efficient passenger boarding, confirming the validity of the claims.
