Today, I will talk about the interesting Japanese occupation "Oshiya".
Oshiya means people who push passengers and luggage that are protruded from train doors during rush hours.
This occupation was first introduced at Shinjuku station in 1955.
Oshiya are arranged in front of each train doors; roles of them are to induce passengers to relatively unoccupied areas, and to notify the conductor of whether or not doors can be closed, in addition to pushing.
Also, if passengers try to get on a train by head and shoulders, oshiya will pull and get them back to the platform.
At such a case, oshiya (pusher) becomes hagashiya (puller).
