The JR station I live closest to is a very small local station. A lot of trains just whiz by and don't stop at this little station. When I am trying to return home, I need to make sure to get the local train, not the fast express that doesn't stop at my station. One evening when I was waiting at another station to come home, I noticed the train I was waiting for was (in katakana) wa n ma n (sounds like one man). I had no idea what that meant. When the train arrived, I understood! There was only one man driving the train, taking the tickets, making the announcements, everything. There is one door to get on the train, and one door to get off - the one closest to the front of the train, where the driver is. I love living in Japan!
one man is often used for a boss who is so selfish. It is said tyrant in English? One man shacho(boss) came from one man bus. He wants to do everything by himself.
Another adventure! Keeps you young and flexible.
