If you’ve ever wondered why trains in Japan can be so expensive, here’s the reason….
Japan Rail (JR) are starting to label all their stations with a number then a letter for the line name. Great idea, that will make things a lot easier for a lot of people. So they have to change all the signs over. OK, fair enough. And how many people does it take to put up a 10cm x 60cm plastic sign?
Four. Yep four people, one to put up the sign, one to hold the ladder and 2 to watch them. If it was a joke it wouldn’t be funny, but it’s true and here’s the photo to prove it. Here’s where your train fares really go! Now how can I get an easy job like that….
