Every Operating Railway System in Greater Tokyo Area (animation)

  • Опубліковано 4 сер 2021
  • A total of 49 rail transport systems from 47 operators in Tokyo are illustrated on the map. Systems are categorized by operators with exception of the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation which operates Toei Subway, Tokyo Toden, and Nippori-Toneri Liner.
    The Greater Tokyo Area (Capital Area) is defined as Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Ibaraki, Tochigi, and Gunma prefectures.
    If a line extends beyond the Greater Tokyo Area, only the section inside the GTA is counted (e.g Gotemba line, Koumi line, Chuo line, Joban line, etc.)
    rapid transit vs. commuter rail vs. heavy rail
    The distinction of these services is often unclear as they are used inconsistently by different sources. Sometimes, rapid transit and commuter rail are subcategories of heavy rail, sometimes they are used interchangeably, and sometimes they are used as different definitions.
    For the purpose of this video, these terms are defined as follows:
    Rapid transit: operates in urban center, shorter distances between stations, frequent service, mostly underground (usually referred as metro or subway)
    Commuter rail: connects suburban areas with the city center, often connects with rapid transit and provide through-services
    Heavy rail: operates mostly in suburban areas as regional lines, less frequent service, often shorter or single fleet
    Categories
    based on:
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
    Lines, stations, and length counting methodology
    If two lines have different terminals and are named as a "branch line", they are considered as one line (e.g. Narita Main line, Narita Abiko branch line, Narita Airport line are counted as 1 line). If two lines share a majority of routes with different terminals but have "unique names", they are counted as separate lines (e.g. Keikyu lines).
    The station counts and track lengths are the numbers of unique stations and unique segments for each operator. However, for the "Greater Tokyo Area rail network", station counts and track lengths of operators are simply summed together resulting in some cross-company stations and tracks being counted multiple times.

    There is an error in the data.
    3:12 Length of Toyo Rapid Railway should be 16.2km
    8:17 Total length should be 4904.3km
    (Please note that shared tracks between operators are recounted in the total length)
    My apologies for the mistake. 😞 Thanks to those who commented the error!

    One point for those who are not familiar with Japanese railways. The last JR East Railway is a core railway company that inherited most of the railroad tracks from the old Japanese National Railways. Other companies are called "private railways" and some distinctions are made.

    Also note that many lines of different companies share the same trains/stations/rolling stock. For example an Odakyu Line train might run strait into the Chiyoda Subway Line, and the Fukutoshin Metro line directly connects to the Tokyu Toyoko Line, which directly connects into the Minato Mirai Line, essentially 3-4 different train companies, operatating seemlessly.

    Example:

    Limited Express(Express surcharges):特急(有料特急) usually named like Skyliner or Romancecar or etc.
    Rapid Limited Express:快速特急 →Keikyu(京急) Line
    Rapid Express:快速急行→Seibu(西武) Line
    Limited Express(No Express surcharges):特急
    Semi Special Express:準特急 →Keio(京王) Line
    (Commute-) Express:(通勤)急行
    Semi Express:区間急行
    (Commute-) Semi Express:(通勤)準急
    Rapid:快速
    Local Train:普通、各駅停車 stops at Each stations
    ↓Slower
    And some lines have -liner(Express with reserved seats and additional fees) or Airport Express...
    And some trains have different stops in the morning or evening or weekdays etc....
    And most lines runs through other company's lines so if you sleep in the last train you can't come back...(T ^ T)
    It's very complicated so you'd better use "Route Search" sites and Suica card.

      i assumed it was chaotic transferring to other lines before the IC card was implemented, now you just load up the card and the system will handle the rest.
      what i liked the most is the 'last mile' local lines to the suburbs, in most countries only the major points get access to the railway network.
