It's kinda fenced of there only because there's a road parallel to the rail and you don't want vehicles or people just drifting into danger.

When someone jumps and gets isekaied, the official info they give you for the trains running late is "personal injury".';

'>>46633439
If I was able to figure it out, I am sure people that were born here understand it too.
Technically injuries do happen. Drunk people or simple accidents leading to someone being hurt happens. Think once trains got delayed around 10 minutes because of some drunk dude getting partially by the doors. His bag or whatever. Despite being fixed fairly quickly, it took them a while to proceed.';

Here is some more knowledge.
Somebody can correct me if I am wrong, it has been over 3 years, but I believe the Yunokami train is technically a one man train? Couldn't use my IC train card back then, so I had to buy an actual physical ticket. Didn't realize that until a conductor showed up. The one time ever that I saw conductor (until my first shinkansen and for some reason a train in Shikoku). Not sure if the Yunokami train was actually labelled as a "one man" train. Obviously wasn't though. There are one man trains in areas without IC card viability without conductors. You just show your ticket to the people at the station.';

'>>46633615
There are also the traditional one man cars. There you have to enter in the back, pick a "number ticket", when you exit in the front you can see the fare related to your number on a display and have to put the money in an automata or give it to the driver.';
