| The vast population of Tokyo and its surrounding areas are knit together by
a mass-transit system built around train and subway lines. Major lines shoot out
from the center of the city like spokes form a wheel, and others crisscross them
to form a web of lines taking people where they need to go. Many of these trains
are packed to a crushing degree with commuters on weekday mornings and evenings,
but they all offer safe, speedy transport to all areas of the megalopolis. Tokyo’s
trains are the veins and arteries that support its life as a city. |
