Leopold Polák actually that’s not accurate about the subway system. There are two companies that run what are classified as a subway system. They are known as 1) Tokyo Metro (formerly known as Teito Rapid Transit Authority (帝都高速度交通営団 Teito Kōsokudo Kōtsū Eidan), commonly known as Eidan or TRTA) is a private company jointly owned by the Japanese government (through the Ministry of Finance) and the Tokyo metropolitan government. 2) Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei Subway) which is owned solely by the government of Tokyo. Rapid transit systems combined. Number of lines 13 Number of stations 285 Daily ridership 8.7 million Now all of those lines are in fact are rapid trains but they’re mostly rapid commuter systems and private lines that are the overwhelming bulk of transit in the metropolitan area. This Wikipedia article basically explains how this complicated system moves. So in short the subway is much smaller.
ONLY JAPANESE THOUGHT -> Tokyo Subway is consist of ONLY Tokyo metro & Toei Subway which are NATIONAL ONLY ZIKATETSU (I don't know about Japanese KANJI漢字) WORLDWIDE PEOPLE'S THOUGHT -> Private Metro's are ALSO SUBWAY! ZIKATETSU + DEN-SHA (Such as Seoul line 1, Suin Line, Yamanote line)
Chang : I agree with you! Keio, Odakyu, JR Higashinihon(東日本) and other private railways are not different from Municipal Subway lines! Suica and Pasmo can be used with those rails! If they are train rather than metro, IC card should not be used!

I have been to Tokyo, Barcelona, London, Paris, and Berlin. All of them worked quite well I thought, the Tokyo one was a model of efficiency and cleanliness. With all of these systems, travelling during the busy periods could be a challenge and navigating some of the larger stations was very confusing, particularly Shibuya or Shinjuku in Tokyo. One of the better integrations of regional rail and metro lines was Berlin. Of course, Berlin also has much lower density than the other cities. In all of these cities, these transit systems enabled people to walk more, ironically, and so people were healthier as a result.
When Japan is mentioned it always come to mind Tokyo, but usually nobody thinks about Osaka, although not as massive as the capital its rail network is still impressive
When visiting Moscow I was actually amazed how clear the structure of the metro lines is. One major circle line connecting to all other lines which lead all through the city
I lived in Paris from 1997 to 2001, and can honestly say that I quickly found using the métro to be straightforward and self-explanatory. As opposed to, say, the New York subway, which has express and local service, and overlapping lines that appear in the same color on the map (A, C, E). Parts of Parisian métro lines 8 and 9 overlap, but they have different colors on the map, and you can clearly see that every station is served by both lines.
Oh, you don't know your ABC's and numbers? :) Each station on the official MTA map (not the crappy fan-designed version shown in the video) is labeled with the lines served. Yes, stations can be confusing, as there were originally three different companies (IRT, BMT/BRT, IND). Also, those express lines are a brilliant design! Not only do they allow commuters a fast trip into the city, but they also serve as auxiliary tracks during accidents and repair. ...and then there is the 24/7 service...
The Korean subway map is very old. In video, Korean has 343 stations, 18 lines and 487km(304mi). It was in 2003. But now, 680 stations, 22 lines and 1113km(691mi). Seoul Metropolitan Subway System has the title which is the second most complicated and craziest subway system in the world. (Of course, Japan Metro is the most craziest system in the world...)
For Japanese, 'Metro' means only 'tokyo metro' and 'tokyo metropolitan bureau'(just as reduced ver map) However, for non-Japanese it seems to include a part of JR and private railway around central Tokyo. That is just like difference between 'Tokyo-to (or metropolitan tokyo)' and 'Tokyo urban area (it often includes cetral yokohama, chiba and saitma)'
They have put a lot of effort into designing an easy to use and comprehensive metro map. Also I like its local navigation, though most people hate it for whatever reason.
The design of the Moscow metro was invented by Artemy Lebedev. After him, everyone started trying to make a minimalist design like ours. He is really an amazing person.
Tokyo's subway lines are generally routed to connect two commuter rail lines on opposite sides of Tokyo. This is confusing but, at the same time, quite convenient as well!
The NYC subway does the same for Metro North and LIRR but they didn't include it into the count. The tokyo stats they gave is inflated with railway and metro.
Yeah, but the commuter rail network pretty much functions as their metro system. It’s also optimized for standing like in a metro, not sitting like in a train.
@@kyh148 Then he could have done the same with London's map. Full maps are available, but he chose to stick with TFL. There are a lot more commuter rail lines that work like a Metro in London/ Greater London too. Tokyo Metro is distinct from other JR Lines that run nationally.
I've been to Moscow several times, and it's rather large than crazy. BUT! You need to remember one very important thing, or you might get lost - some interchange stations are served by two lines - one line on one track, the other line on the other track. In case you've missed your station and want to go back, you will need to go to the neighbor pavillion. In short, look for directions and follow them, Moscow subway is good with that ;)
Japanese railway system(including JR/metro/private railways/Shinkansen and so on) is the most convenient and efficient railway system I have ever seen.
The Beijing one was very pleasant with the two concentric circle lines that connect all the other lines. I haven't been to China, and I don't really plan on going there, but I'd think that makes finding a connection much easier - you're never that far away from a concentric circle.
My eyes burned off trying to understand the map you choose. I LIVE in New York and I take the subway SO MUCH, but that map you choose was outdated, confusing, and not even accurate.
I think once you have sussed one subway map, you can navigate any. I've used Moscow`, Shanghai and Beijing, but I must admit the Tokyo Metro map does look like a challenge.
Long of some metro system in Chinese cities (includes HK, Macau and Taiwan): MTR (HK): about 250km Taipei Metro:195km Nanjing Metro:378km Guangzhou Metro:458km Chengdu Metro:264km And any of them is longer than Metro de Madrid.

I have lived in Tokyo for more than 10 years, but I still get lost in big stations. When I finally get to the ground after walking around the station, I'm already late for my appointment.
I am Japanese. Even with this, new line construction is still ongoing. In fact, many of the lines that are in the red have been eliminated, so the number has decreased significantly compared to the past. What's more, even with so many lines, the trains still arrive on time, and even during rush hour, they run on schedule, which is amazing.
Yes; a very clear structure and easy to use. Some of the older stations on the 1 and 2 lines are not very child- or handicap-friendly, but apart from that, it works like a charm, and goes to most of the important stuff.
It’s not that difficult tbh, you get used to it pretty quickly, as Tokyo is very very large and the lines spread out into the suburbs you only really need to know the local lines. Google maps is especially useful as they show u exactly what lines to take as well as the price in case ur interested. I’d recommend staying on one network if possible as transferring from one train company to the other would be more expensive than staying on a single one.
The total number of subway stations in Seoul is 21 in 2018 years, and the total number of stations is 681. And the Seoul subway line on the video is 2004 line.
Tokyo Metro's 2210stations, 158lines and 4715km includes rural national and private railway lines that have nothing to do with the metro and are not in the Tokyo metropolitan area. For example, it would be like counting all British Railways in Southern England, or all Long Island Rail Road and Amtrak lines in New York and New Jersey as metro, which is not fair. The true scale of Tokyo Metro is 286 stations and 13 lines, including public corporations and prefectural railways. However, most Tokyo Metro trains run on national and private railway lines and run directly to suburbs. So if you count those stations and lines, the number should double or triple.
Imagine living in Staten Island and having to commute 2 and a half hours every day both ways through the NYC metro system just to get to my classes on time.
The 84 line are included with the railways. If that is the case they should of added Metro North and LIRR for the NYC Subways since they have transfer point to the subway and all run by one company, MTA.
To be more accurate, Tokyo's first map consists of Tokyo metro(9 lines)+Toei subway(4 lines) And the last one includes subway lines above and JR lines+ 'Shitetsu'+ and others(Yurikamome etc...) And the whole map shows Tokyo and its surrounding areas(Saitama, Chiba, Yokohama(Kanagawa), Tama, Tochigi)
According to Wikipedia, Seoul subway line is the longest in the world. Currently, the Seoul metropolitan area has 23 Lines and 30 Lines will be opened. Japan included all JR lines.
A couple things: First, Tokyo's subway map shown in the video includes railways not in the subway. Though it is impressive, it would be like showing the London Rail and Tube map which is misleading. Secondly, the Seoul subway map shown in the video is very outdated. The map was made between 2003 and 2004, and between then and 2017 more lines have been opened and line 1 has been massively extended. Moreover, by December 2017, the total length of the Seoul subway system was 1113.2km and there were 21 lines (including light rail) and 680 stations.
Every place has different rules. You know the London Underground? It's 55% above ground. Then when you go to Tokyo, 10 of the 13 subways have through service to other mostly above ground lines. It should be noted however that the Namboku Subway Line continues straight onto the Saitama Subway Line. So why should London Underground's above stations count when Tokyo Metro's through service to another subway company doesn't count? Every place has different rules.
2:36 is the real Tokyo subway map. 2.41 is the Yokohama subway and the Tokyo subway and all urban rail in four prefectures combined on one single map, like if the London underground map included Brighton, or the New York subway map included eastern New Jersey. Note: The private railway Tokyu corp has through trains on the Toyoko line that continues onto the Yokohama subway in the southern end and onto the Tokyo subway in the northern end, so you can actually ride on both subway systems without changing train, (even though Yokohama and Tokyo are separated by the large town Kawasaki). (On the left half of the map at 2.41, there's a red line that runs diagonally towards the lower left corner. It has five bold red characters beside the line on the map. That's the Tokyu Toyoko line. Where it ends is where it continues onto the Yokohama and Tokyo subways respectively.)
No, Only Tokyo metro company and Toei subway company's maps is that! Real tokyo metro is comprise JR, Tokyo metro, Toei subway, Odakyu, Keio and other 14 companies!
This video is full of shit, isn't it? At 2:50, it's claimed that Tokyo subway is 23 percent the distance around the globe (4,715 km) and has 2,210 stations - or 15.5 times as long as in reality (304.1 km), having 285 stations. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_subway
Tao Yanbao Only National subway are comprise with 300km 13lines There are 4500km in Shutoken (首都圈 Greater Tokyo Metropolis) included private subways (JR Keio Odakyu Keisei Tobu Seibu and etc)
Tao Yanbao and also ONLY Municipal subways in seoul is comprised 10 lines 400km Sudogwon (수도권 Seoul-Capital area) are more than 1100km with 22lines (Incheon Metro, Airport metro, Korail, Uijeong-bu LRT and etc)
In the map of Paris, you can see the metro (14 lines now and 18 in 2030), the RER (suburban rail network) , transilien (other suburban rail network from the Gare Saint Lazare and Montparnasse) and the tram.
You need an update. As of 29 September 2021, London Underground has 317 stations now. The Northern Line was extended from Elephant & Castle to Battersea Power with a stop between Elephant & Castle and Battersea Power. There’s a stop at Nine Elms
The map shown 2:41 isn't pure Tokyo Metro Map, which includes all the railway lines within the Greater Tokyo Area.. The one 2:36 is, roughly, the correct one yet it still has some railway lines which are not of the Metro. Despite that, probably Tokyo has got the most complicated underground network
Well...the main JR Lines and Tokyo metro are all 1067 gauge. Except for Tokyo Metro Ginza Line and Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line which are standard 1435 gauge. The JR train system is DIRECTLY connected to the Tokyo Metro system at multiple points because they both use the same gauge. But the Tokyo Metro system isn't even able to connect all it's own lines together because it uses different gauge tracks. So... in the end, it's complicated.
SOUTH KOREA NO.1 According to Wikipedia, Seoul subway lines is the longest in the world. This data is wrong. This data is Japan included all JR lines.and Seoul is the data of 2003.
For clarification, a "line" in New York City is not the same as a "service" (route). There are 36 lines, but only 25 services. This is because a line is the actual infrastructure, whereas a service is merely a pattern on the line, and is typically not limited to one service per line. Also, that's nowhere near an official map.
Tokyo Metro's services are extremely extensive because most of the line does through-services to other rail companies like Japan Rail, Tokyu, Tobu, Seibu, and other rapid railways. For example If you ride Fukutoshin Line towards Shibuya and you keep riding till the end, you reach Chinatown in Yokohama.

That’s true but Seoul already has to much subway lines and stations
according to Wikipedia Seoul Subway is most longest line Length in the world.
When you lives in theses countries and you check the metro map
Easy
When you lives in Tokyo and you check the metro map
😵
Glad you put how the actual subway network look vs the map.
Imagine living in Staten Island and having to commute 2 and a half hours every day both ways through the NYC metro system just to get to my classes on time.
You wouldn’t believe there’re 84 lines including metros and regular railways in Tokyo
The 84 line are included with the railways. If that is the case they should of added Metro North and LIRR for the NYC Subways since they have transfer point to the subway and all run by one company, MTA.
2:42 even the London underground (which I use) is confusing, there's no humanly possible way to follow that
To be more accurate, Tokyo's first map consists of Tokyo metro(9 lines)+Toei subway(4 lines)
And the last one includes subway lines above and JR lines+ 'Shitetsu'+ and others(Yurikamome etc...) And the whole map shows Tokyo and its surrounding areas(Saitama, Chiba, Yokohama(Kanagawa), Tama, Tochigi)
Seoul metropolitan subway is 1,146km long now. And it has 598 stations and 22 lines.
Here I am trying to make plans for 1 metro line in Cities: Skylines. What is pretty amazing though, that Japan trains are NEVER late.
Because you will get a fine of yours late
パリ：流石大都市だなぁ
ニューヨーク：密集してんなぁ
東京：あいらいくsushi(白目)
The Beijing version is not very accurate in some suburbs line, but this is a very fantastic video
OMG Tokyo's !!! To me, they were quite simple about the 5th. At the 2nd, I've realised it's because I'm used to Paris' as I work in Paris :)
Hello from Japan👋👋🇯🇵🇯🇵🎌
hello from Greece too!
There is 1 more line not shown in the Tokyo Metro map.
That is named Fukutoshin Line (F) started in 2007 and colored in brown.
Seoul Metropolitan Subway (now)
22 lines
1157.8 km
604 stations
According to Wikipedia, Seoul subway line is the longest in the world.
Currently, the Seoul metropolitan area has 23 Lines and 30 Lines will be opened.
Japan included all JR lines.
A couple things:
First, Tokyo's subway map shown in the video includes railways not in the subway. Though it is impressive, it would be like showing the London Rail and Tube map which is misleading.
Secondly, the Seoul subway map shown in the video is very outdated. The map was made between 2003 and 2004, and between then and 2017 more lines have been opened and line 1 has been massively extended.
Moreover, by December 2017, the total length of the Seoul subway system was 1113.2km and there were 21 lines (including light rail) and 680 stations.
Every place has different rules.
You know the London Underground? It's 55% above ground.
Then when you go to Tokyo, 10 of the 13 subways have through service to other mostly above ground lines. It should be noted however that the Namboku Subway Line continues straight onto the Saitama Subway Line.
So why should London Underground's above stations count when Tokyo Metro's through service to another subway company doesn't count?
Every place has different rules.
2:10 Mind.... the gap
Paris: acceptable
London: ok
Shanghai: good
Seoul: ok
Tokyo: WTF 😱
They include the commuter rail and other transit system (monorail, suspension railway, people mover, etc)
1:46 why does the map show the (N) train running to 86 St-Gravesend?
2:36 is the real Tokyo subway map. 2.41 is the Yokohama subway and the Tokyo subway and all urban rail in four prefectures combined on one single map, like if the London underground map included Brighton, or the New York subway map included eastern New Jersey.
Note: The private railway Tokyu corp has through trains on the Toyoko line that continues onto the Yokohama subway in the southern end and onto the Tokyo subway in the northern end, so you can actually ride on both subway systems without changing train, (even though Yokohama and Tokyo are separated by the large town Kawasaki).
(On the left half of the map at 2.41, there's a red line that runs diagonally towards the lower left corner. It has five bold red characters beside the line on the map. That's the Tokyu Toyoko line. Where it ends is where it continues onto the Yokohama and Tokyo subways respectively.)
goishikaigan mademou In this way of presenting the other networks, one should take the Transilien (800km) map for Paris, too.
No, Only Tokyo metro company and Toei subway company's maps is that!
Real tokyo metro is comprise JR, Tokyo metro, Toei subway, Odakyu, Keio and other 14 companies!
This video is full of shit, isn't it? At 2:50, it's claimed that Tokyo subway is 23 percent the distance around the globe (4,715 km) and has 2,210 stations - or 15.5 times as long as in reality (304.1 km), having 285 stations.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_subway
Tao Yanbao Only National subway are comprise with 300km 13lines
There are 4500km in Shutoken (首都圈 Greater Tokyo Metropolis) included private subways (JR Keio Odakyu Keisei Tobu Seibu and etc)
Tao Yanbao and also
ONLY Municipal subways in seoul is comprised 10 lines 400km
Sudogwon (수도권 Seoul-Capital area) are more than 1100km with 22lines (Incheon Metro, Airport metro, Korail, Uijeong-bu LRT and etc)
That Korea subway map is very old vesion. There are 22 lines in the metropolitan area alone. In addition, there are 11 other lines in Korea.
*cough cough* Mini metro players *cough cough*
HappyMations *cough*
HappyMations I do play Mini Metro but my lines aren't this convoluted
Come on I play mini metro
I wish I could survive long enough in the game to create such a complicated network... :(
Lollllll
In the map of Paris, you can see the metro (14 lines now and 18 in 2030), the RER (suburban rail network) , transilien (other suburban rail network from the Gare Saint Lazare and Montparnasse) and the tram.
You need an update. As of 29 September 2021, London Underground has 317 stations now. The Northern Line was extended from Elephant & Castle to Battersea Power with a stop between Elephant & Castle and Battersea Power. There’s a stop at Nine Elms
TFL rail: Our map will be super tonne in the future
Tokyo: Hold my sushi
British rail hold my trains
4718km for Tokyo Metro... Imagine counting the length of *all railways in Japan*
Tokyo is the first city I've been in where there are express versions of some lines, with trains that only stop at the major hubs.
NYC has that too
Although some lines are express lines, they call themselves local trains.
The map shown 2:41 isn't pure Tokyo Metro Map, which includes all the railway lines within the Greater Tokyo Area.. The one 2:36 is, roughly, the correct one yet it still has some railway lines which are not of the Metro. Despite that, probably Tokyo has got the most complicated underground network
Well...the main JR Lines and Tokyo metro are all 1067 gauge. Except for Tokyo Metro Ginza Line and Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line which are standard 1435 gauge.
The JR train system is DIRECTLY connected to the Tokyo Metro system at multiple points because they both use the same gauge. But the Tokyo Metro system isn't even able to connect all it's own lines together because it uses different gauge tracks.
So... in the end, it's complicated.
Tokyo metro looks complicated but you get used to after a while. Then it becomes easy to use.
My reaction to the Tokyo Subway map: WTF!
SOUTH KOREA NO.1
According to Wikipedia, Seoul subway lines is the longest in the world.
This data is wrong.
This data is Japan included all JR lines.and Seoul is the data of 2003.

For clarification, a "line" in New York City is not the same as a "service" (route). There are 36 lines, but only 25 services. This is because a line is the actual infrastructure, whereas a service is merely a pattern on the line, and is typically not limited to one service per line.
Also, that's nowhere near an official map.
Exactly, I have never seen that version of the map and I've lived here my entire life.
Paris does have 16 Metro lines, but the chart and map included the 5 RER lines and 10 Tram lines, making 31 lines in total
動画前半で「あれ、海外でこれなら日本って意外と大した事無い...?」などと思ってたら

This is an old map of Moscow Metro
At the moment of upload it was a current map. Now here is +8 stations
METRO 2033:DDD
Yeah
But Moscow map on video isn't official. It's map from Ilya Birman and it's only was at the contest for the official map.
very old. Built about 30 metro stations
I like how they used an unofficial redesign of the NYT subway map.
That's still a crappy map.
Channel Is Going Through Unification they could of used the REAL ONE
2:42 This map is correct by 200x. Now, there are more line added or expanded
Tokyo Metro's services are extremely extensive because most of the line does through-services to other rail companies like Japan Rail, Tokyu, Tobu, Seibu, and other rapid railways. For example If you ride Fukutoshin Line towards Shibuya and you keep riding till the end, you reach Chinatown in Yokohama.
