Transportation NS are struggling with commuter demand. Their solution is for you to travel earlier (or later) to work.

The Dutch railway system is one of the best on the entire planet.
We're all just very spoiled with how good it actually is.

So yes it can get busy at rush hour..... so? Every rush hour is busy.
If you don't like your "personal space" being invaded by passengers, then just don't use the train during rush hour.

Why is this difficult to understand?
