Tokyo Compression : Portraits by Michael Wolf

(via)

As most of my fellow citizens, I commute through subway to get to work. It was the cleanest safest transport system my city had, you could go anywhere, fast. Those were the good days.
Michael Wolf photographic series deals with a rising topic in many cities worldwide; quality public transport is becoming a major issue as skyrocketing gas/fuel prices are nowhere near  going down and the global economy is putting many on a ''narrow pocket policy''.

Tokyo compression gives a stark look at one of the most claustrophobic, crammed, subway system in the world, brilliantly putting faces to the otherwise anonymous mass of bodies that every day endures the odyssey of a day's work at the city. Enjoy.
