Information Subway JR East Tokyo Subway
(From Wikipedia) The Tokyo Subway (’n‰º“S chikatetsu) is one of the world's most extensive metro/subway systems. The two primary networks are operated by
Several other railways in the capital, notably the Tokyo Waterfront Railway, also qualify as metro (subway) by most definitions. The Tokyo Subway often has direct service to other types of train lines including JR and private lines such as the Keio, Odakyu, and Tobu lines. It is important to not confuse the Tokyo Subway with Japan Rail (JR), which charges a separate fee from the Toei and other private lines. On April 1, 2004, the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) was privatized and renamed the Tokyo Metro Co. Ltd (“Œ‹ž’n‰º“SŠ”Ž®‰ïŽÐ, Tōkyō Chikatetsu K.K.). The company also uses the name Tokyo Metro (“Œ‹žƒƒgƒ) in Japanese for promotional purposes. The privatization affected only the TRTA, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government continues to operate its own Toei lines separately. (The word toei (“s‰c) means "metropolitan-operated.") The separate administration of two metro systems in the same city causes several inconveniences for customers:
Currently (as of September 2005), there are 168 train stations operated by Tokyo Metro, with an average of 5.69 million passengers per day. They employ 8,721 staff, and the busiest station is Shinjuku (which is also the world's busiest, and second largest, with an estimated traffic of 2 million passengers per day). East Japan
Railways
(From Wikipedia) JR East was incorporated on April 1, 1987 after being spun off from the government-run Japanese National Railways. Although this was a nominal "privatization," the company was actually a wholly-owned subsidiary of the government-owned JNR Settlement Corporation for several years, and was not completely sold to the public until 2002. Following the JNR breakup, JR East assumed responsibility for passenger operations on former JNR lines in the Greater Tokyo Area, the Tohoku region and surrounding areas. [External Links] |
