Crowded Train Infringes Human Right

As you might know, one of the worst things in Japan is that the excessive congested train almost kills me every morning. Here's the author who has the same feeling.
It's a kind of the infringement of human rights that we need to commute by the extremely croweded train, I believe. It's insane that we have to be kept in a train for a long time, surrounded by strangers, without any room to move. That caused a sexual molester, we need to have a solution for that as soon as possible. My idea is very simple, 1) raise the train fare for rush hour, and, 2) reinforce the transportation.
The former idea is like this, say, triple the train fee for peak time, while decrease the fee for off-peak. Some companies would change its office hours to decrease the cost. The latter idea is just to increase the length of the train or the number of the route.
The biggest challenge is in our mind. Some seem to stop their thinking and just give up the crazy crowded train. As long as we keep silence, we can never expect the solution. The government and the train companies have left the problem for years, just because no one made big noises on that. We have to speak out loud. The people who say nothing might as well infringe the human rights and molest a woman in a train. Now is the time to get them out of here, or we will be kept infringed. NO MORE CROWDED TRAIN!! NO!
