Rail stations, whether in Japan or elsewhere, are also great places to see “nudge theory” at work. Pioneered by behavioral economist Richard Thaler, who was awarded the 2017 Nobel Memorial Prize for his work, and Harvard Law School professor Cass Sunstein, the theory posits that gentle nudges can subtly influence people towards decisions in their own (or society’s) best interests, such as signing up for private pension schemes or organ donation.

Ahh! That is where Cass Sunstein went.

Yeah, but when they come to the US as tourists, they push, shove, and hit you with their umbrellas.

as on May 11, when West Japan Railways issued a florid apology after one of its commuter trains left the station 25 seconds early....

I'd say that happens EVERY SINGLE DAY, and in the East Division, also.

CASS SUNSTEIN, Japan expert, huh...yeah, right.

My university frat mate teaches at a gakuen’ (middle/high school) there, Hokkaido area. Still the only white dude in the area. He was shocked that most of his students took the trains even at age 8 which was dangerously ridiculous. And he’s seen it.

Of course westerners automatically will ask a child ‘where are your parents’ and he did that once, and the train people called the cops on him thinking he was a pervert or hentai’ LOL

>>Operating on the theory that exposure to blue light has a calming effect on one’s mood, rail stations in Japan began installing these LED panels as a suicide-prevention measure in 2009.

I find blue cast LED lights to be psychologically cold and hard, not “calming” or “suicide avoidance”.

When I was five my Dad put me on the train to go visit my Aunt Helen.

She lived in Hawaii at the time.
