Staff helps! I had this thought today taking the train here in Japan, why I feel safe compared to other countries. Every station is staffed with a real person. Most trains have at least two people in them. One driver and a second staff announcing and checking doors. The staff is clearly visible and in uniform. I know Japans base safety level is higher than the rest of the world. But I think putting trained staff in uniform on display would improve the situation everywhere.
