For a large number of reasons, public transportation is dealt with far more responsibly in Japan than in the US.

I can think of a couple of reasons: a) the historical reverberations of the Tokugaway Shogunate's social discipline; and b) the Confucian moral framework where those with power tend to have more 'social responsibility.'*

The US has no Confucian sense of social ethics.

*WWII is the reason I used 'tend.'
