While I would disagree with your assessment, I will say arigato for the information.While Tokyo is impressive for the sheer amount of railway operations, the next closest in the Western world is probably Paris where nearly every mode is represented and the density of the network is unmatched. The Japanese are good at moving huge amounts of people, but the French are good at the "stupid pet tricks" stuff in terms of signalling and frequency. Ninety second headways and ZPTO on a line older than the IRT is a thing in Paris, but it's needed given the narrow profile rolling stock and short lengths. |
