Subway in Tokyo. (from the issue of "New Journal From Japan")

Everything is expensive in Tokyo,
especially the transportation fee.

I often ride in subway in Tokyo.
a ride to an adjacent station is 160 yen, worth 1.5 US Dollars.
and it is the minimum fee.

As the destination go farther, fee get more expensive.
But not "directly proportional", future engineers there!?

Okay, here's what I like in the subway in Tokyo.

1. Plural lines are owned by the same company, hence there's no extra fee in changing the lines. in short, you can ride in different lines in 1 pay only.
2. Some lines join converges with another company's lines.
3. Not crowded. usually train is composed of 10 cars with 4 doors each.
4. Fast.
5. Convenient.

Right now, 12 lines are in Tokyo. (subway only)
It covers the area about twice of Metro Manila.
And as you know, subway doesn't pollute air unlike the jeeps or buses.
Generally I like subway.

Conclusion:
To ride subway is expensive.
hehehe...

Have a nice day!
