Is it legal to have a crowded train?

Well, I mean as in above the required capacity or the number you can sqeuzze in before people find it a little uncomfortable.

In Sungai Pusat, it is legal, but not liked.

Yeah... metro trains here don't even have an official max capacity.

Of course we do try to avoid it, and run the trains more often in peak hours.

No, except in case of military matters.

Yes, it's absolutely legal to have a crowded train.

As the Empire is not equivocal to real-life Japan, no. The most crowded our trains (and by that I mean subways as other trains generally are sold via ticket and not general admission) is equal to real-life New York City, where they get all hell crowded but no where near the level of Japan (where cops push people into train to get everyone to fit, as I've seen).

No. In the Empire, all public transportation must adhere to the regulations, and most private company would not dare taking advantages of the passengers but instead maintain a comfortable and safe environment.... and it helps to prevent perverts and pick pocktet as well.

In veroija it is legal but it does not occur very much

It is legal but we do everything in our power to ensure that it does not occur. We are currently considering to make it an illegal practice.

Do we need Two threads on this?

Yes, in fact, during rush hour, trains are so full that we get situations like these.

It's legal - and we're currently working on reducing this occurance.

Define crowded.

Over capacity. Whether that is a hard number, or just not enough room to sit or stand depends on the country.

The only trains we have are used for logging. If the logs are overcrowded, they tend to fall off. While there's no law against having logs fall off your train or having your train fall off the tracks, most logging companies find it counterproductive and try to avoid it.

Is it legal? Yes
Does it happen often? No
