With 179 stations, nine lines and over 2.3 billion users each year, the Tokyo Metro is the heart of Tokyo’s public transport system. This film goes behind the scenes to explore the mind-set, skill and technology behind its astonishing reliability and punctuality. The Tokyo Metro is so punctual that people set their watches by the arrival of the trains; if a train is more than a minute late, the driver has to make a personal apology. This film explores the reasons behind the Metro’s reputation for running on time, to reveal a long-established culture focused on avoiding failure through contingency planning for any event - from terrorism to earthquakes - and the introduction of new technology to improve safety and systematic preventative maintenance. However, we reveal the key to the Metro’s efficiency is exhaustive training for its station staff and drivers, who are trained to drive at precise speeds even if the technology fails.

They forgot to mention that the stations will issue "late slips" if the train is late. After all, your boss is unlikely to believe you if you tell him that the train was late.
The New York subway system used to do that 50 years ago. edit spelling.
Yup that's true. They are fined a huge amount if the train is late more than a minute
Ya
Yessss they give u piece of paper/slips
actually they only do that On 15+ minute late .
Japan: Anything over a minute is considered late.
UK: If anything runs at all its considered a win.
Well not exactly but ok.
especially if you ride Northern
transpennie express
"In Japan, anything over a minute is considered late" - This statement itself tells us a lot about the Japanese progress and discipline!
Not that great, we have to realise the amount of pressure from the society. No wonder why suicide rate in Japan is high.
Time is gold for japanese.
That's why their country are very progressive.
@@zUJ7EjVD Regressive? Stop fooling yourself
WHAT'S SO SURPRISING ABOUT THAT? MOSCOW METRO RUNS EVERY 90 SECONDS WITHOUT DELAY !
@@torar_ The suicide rate in Japan is 143 suicides per million people. For comparison the US suicide rate is 137 per million people.
In NY the trains come when they feel like it
The Bagelman facts bro; esp if not taking the 1,2,3 or A,B,C
Same in europe
also here in Philippines
Same in Europe
@@Stryker-ye7wn the letter trains are trash
Train 1 minute late in Japan:
Japanese: "nani?"
Train 1 hour late in UK:
British: "Oi, train's on time today, mate!"
Train 12 hours late in US:
American: "Wait we have trains?"
You need to come to India 😂😂we have trains for more than 14 hrs late also for long distance train
@@aaronchettiar but atleast metro is never late maximum
These are all different types of trains
Metro vs long distance commuter
To be fair NYC metro would basically be equivalent to a mob every rush hour.
Though another thing that NY has that Japan does not, 24-HR service.
nobody in England says oi trains on time today mate typical American stereotype :/
It's really amazing how Japan and the Japanese were so disciplined at everything they do.
Yeah, the Allies neutered them after WWII.
MontrealBengalitiger Samurai モントリオール Your English could be more better too.
america helped japan you stupid fuck. japan wouldn't have been shit without americas help.
I love how this comment became a discussion about how great or bad the usa is.
TEAC Fan America defeated Japan and helped them become what they are
bulgaria has a solution: no delays because...no trains...
Romania is even worse xD

Ah, so THAT'S where Brazil got the idea of tearing down its railroads from
Hahaha..
Meanwhile in Australia the trains are 1 hour late...haha i joke, i joke. It was cancelled.
*In Indonesia the train sometimes late 6 hours*
Oh same in germany
Daryl Atkinson I went to India and my train was delayed 12 hours. I thought Sydney was bad.
@Samyak SkIndonesia is a different country than India
legit...like wtf especially when you try to got to melbourne cbd
in London metros arrive 2 hours and 41 minutes late, exactly as the driver intended.
"you're 30 minutes late!"
"fuck off"
"you're hired welcome to TFL"
what does that have to do with anything??? It's people like you who make the world a worst place by spreading pointless hatred around. Gtfo, thanks.
You do know they are non muslims who are Arabs too. So ignorant about the world you are.

Japanese: "wtf"
*Train in Germany 30min late*
Germans: "It's fine"
I'm from Italy. Our regional trains are often late, so much that the speaker doesn't even bother apologizing when the train is 10 or less minutes late. We are so used to it that we don't even care, it's the everyday routine. Welcome to Trenitalia.
Airplane Engine *nyc: allow me to introduce myself*
Boi look at american trains.
@@stefanodegioia1598 Wait, your station speaker used to apologize?
České dráhy (Czech state owned train company) has all trains delayed at least for 5 minutes
Japanese commuter: why is the train 15 seconds late
American commuter: Wow the train came in 10 minutes that’s fast
Holy cow, that accurate speed guess is really mind blown
di Indonesia KRL telat sampe 1 jam, Holyfuck
Yes Indonesia the documentary talked about a man who inscribed a sense of speed into operators minds as they looked around their surroundings. On time performance may at times depend on accurate assessment of ground markers.
Omg I know right. Crazy skills
Semoga aja krl kita berkembang :v
Pilots do the same to get their wings. Their speedo is covered and they need to be able to accurately judge how fast he is flying.
The Japanese should take over the whole British rail network
Oh and the German one too please!
Yeah but the passengers have to cooperate, are the Brits willing to become super advanced civilization mannered?
Techy isn't the German one amazing too for being on time?
my Lim except there's been no British Rail since 1996...
Shaun Gordon, well thats what people from diffirent Lands/Countries/States/etc. usualy say, but in reality they are 80% of the Time +5min Late 70% of that +15min late 75% of that never arrive. So yeah, quite bad.
According to the comments, the Japanese should take over the whole railway in the world....
No my trains is fine
Ricky Chung I mean, I wouldn’t mind systems that worked with 98% efficiency
@The Aquapisces and Japan has that discipline that whole word don't have, learning it is not easy, letting japan in charge would would let us learn about their discipline
@array s lol it's obviously nyc because it says nyc subway on the sides but thx for watching my vids
The japanese needs to come to NYC and fixed these trains, they had to fire a CEO that had to do it's job, rather take a japanese person over cuomo...
I'm Japanese, and this is true. It is rarely rarely rarely late.
Must be a luxury with your puplic transit over ther!?
@@mr.boomguy Everytime I go to a different country and I really understand how much of a luxury it is lol
@@ren7068 I have to respectfully disagree with regards to the initial statement. I love the Japanese train system, but despite what people believe they are very frequently late. The metro isn't as bad as other lines, but I took the metro everyday from September to January and I reckon my morning train was a couple minutes late at least 20% of the time. Now I am taking the main rapid JR lines, and they are even worse.
@@toshsokukawa4462 Oh really? That's unfortunate...I'm sorry to hear :(
But trust me it's much better than overseas haha
JR lines delay sometimes caused by track incursion, doors jammed, or vehicle stuck on crossing
I accidently press on this video and after 30 seconds i coudlnt stop watch lol
Teemo wtf same thing happened to me
Same lol
24/7?
LAIMS KINGS same lol

I've always wondered why in Tokyo they don't have automatic subway lines as this country is high tech, but after viewing this video I understand they don't need to: their subway drivers are as precise as computers !
Union Française They are very advanced in toliets...
Yeah, that and it employs people. In due time, it will probably all be automated though, just like the rest of the world. Can't wait for robots to replace the crap personnel on American subway systems like NYC's. The workers and conductors there don't even deserve to have jobs for being consistently late and delayed EVERYDAY.
theworldhere247 Wait until you come to the capital of Canada. Main bus routes are 15+ min late every single time.
I think part of that is due to underfunding... They have old train and probably not a high maintainance budget
Tout est dit
Been in Japan for many times, rode their trains countless times, and never have I seen a late train!!! You’ll be really amazed on how they do it, and maintain it.
I had a single late express train when I went to Japan recently. The reason: "person on track"
In india,..
Well everybody knows
Completely opposite to japan in everything..
@Southy Yes now we know you're brainless
@Southy you use your racist, discriminatory mind every where. Pity on your value system.
@@ambrishbiradar8255
>pointing out that india has one of the worst public sanitation in the world is racism
Is this some next-level Indian nationalist coping or what?
@@augustovasconcellos7173 you don't need to point out anything though when you ain't even belong to or live in India! No one needs your opinion in the first place! Everybody knows India is developing at a fast pace! It's always difficult for third world countries to cope with comments from hypocrites like you but that's one of the factors that definitely helps drive us forward!
The whole culture is what makes this possible. There are many well developed subway and commuter rail systems in other parts of the world, but the people who use them are often the cause of delays. An example. I was commuting to Copenhagen last week, when my train got stuck at a station for 10 minutes. The reason? A guy with a bicycle wanted to get on the train, but it was almost at full capacity. So how does he cope with this situation? Simple. He blocked the door with his bicycle, so the train couldn't leave and stood there looking offended. Because if HE couldn't get on, then the train was not allowed to go anywhere. After 10 minutes of yelling back and forward, some of the passengers finally gave up, left the train, and let him in so we could continue, Ah, the beauty of the new western "me" culture....
Marc Liljeqvist why didn't the "me" culture motivate somebody to kick him and his bike off?
Justin Betland they built LEGO so we suffer, these people are just acting canadian
+Justin Betland Absolutely not. You'll find these kinds of people in all countries.
Maybe someone should have knocked him out. picked up his bike and throw it on the track.
The other problem, is the fact that no staff member stepped and stopped him, why? That staff member? Doesn't exist anymore, it's all automated, so no staffer would show up and shoo the idiot with the bike away.
And that, is a reason why the Japanese public transit works so well, they are willing to employ however many it requires.
The Washington DC Metro is EXACTLY the same as this - except for the on-time performance. Yep, exactly the same, well, except for the maintenance. Other than that - exactly the same. Except for maybe the Customer Service. Same Thing - no difference. Maybe the employee pride is a little off. Yep, just the same. Then again, maybe the disaster readiness is slightly different...........
Not a native (like most DC residents.. heh!) but will also concur after living in DC for 16 years.
Except for the at all like Japanese part.
Edit: Just a guess.
Same in San Francisco Bay Area Lol
I agree IC. BART never got the funding they needed to reevaluate regional service and the 9 county area made an art of confusing people and causing difficulties in transiting from different transportation systems to another. As the freeways jammed up on particular hours of the day no one took a look at how a Regan era law was being followed to move people with the jobs.
what is the population of washington?
I've had the sweetest experience with customer service when I was in Tokyo and was about to take my first ride. The service guy came out of his desk and took me through every single detail of using the token machine. No country, NO COUNTRY is even close to the level of dedication Japanese have for their jobs, big or small. Just lovely and heartwarming to see them work!
you must be pretty dumb then.
In *JAPAN* anything over a minute is considered late.
*IN THAILAND* Anything over 2 hours is probably a little late
the Japanese are not afraid to spend money for training and knew technology when needed
reg buc yes they invest in technology rather than importing low cost labor and also don't have welfare. families take care of each other just like it used to be in the west
Michael King are the wages in Japan the same as US ?
yeah
reg buc
actually probably higher.
reg buc while America puts more money in their military then their education for their kids...
Japan has a special affinity with technology. Like that one guy said: they consider it an extension of themselves. Amazing philosophy!
if a supply truck hits a store as a customer is shopping, no real space needed to store merchandise. Less space, more space devoted for other needs.
it was a lady who said that :P
They said tools fyi

Conducter: 1 min late
Boss: So... your fired
I went to Tokyo back in the January.... I got stuck inside a train and the train stop near the station for 15 minutes..... YES 15 MINUTES.... I was like Japanese train delayed???? It is like a jackpot!!!!!! they are like 99.99% on time and I m so lucky to be on a train that go stuck!!!!
Meanwhile in a parallel universe...
HK MTR's definition of "on time" might differ from Tokyo's ...
My dad visited Japan last year and he said the shinkansen was disrupted too and he had to change train at a certain station. It was late and he didn't get a seat.
are you sure it wasn't because of snow or other natural disasters? i was in japan last nov my train was disrupted due to heavy snow, and Tokyo had several lines of the metro system on check after an earthquake struck near Fukushima
I am from Japan and have never seen a delay for whole my life. you should be proud of it:)
I'm half Japanese, Here in Japan everything is possible in time I mean everything! Time and speed is most important in Japan. ps : this footage is old , there's already lot of changes now
Sky JS hey so am I!

Went to Japan on holiday, super fun, the trains even though they were packed, so clean, all the people were nice, overall just a very positive and colourful place
Japanese: 1 minute is considered late

Blame Freighter trains
In Britain, 1 week is late!

y'all need to see the NYC subway. we don't have time clocks. the train comes when it wants too and no one knows the timing. its all about luck there. and I kinda like it and hate it at the same time.
Not when you're paying good money for taking such a crappy subway system.
Usman Khalid you obviously don't live in nyc. Some trains actually show the time the train would arrive. Others don't but would soon follow.
Usman Khalid lottery game?
Only the numbered lines on both the Westside and Eastside lines have them up to 2017 until now which have the lettered lines and 7 train having countdown timers. Example is the next Uptown express 4 train to Woodlawn is now approaching the station please stand back from the platform Edge heard this at 14th Street IRT East Side line
There are timetables for each NYC Subway line, and to be fair, the MTA does a pretty good job of keeping up with it.
The problem with the NYC Subway ultimately comes down to us, the riders. We treat the trains like shit, dump trash everywhere, piss on the seats, hold the doors open for people, jump on the tracks for a selfie, etc. Japanese people have a lot more respect for society, which is a major component to their on-time performance.
Of course, the MTA sucks, and doesn't give a shit about on-time performance, but not all of it is their fault.
10:01 a phrase you will NEVER hear in the United States lol
Exactly. It all works because the people are disciplined enough to follow the rules.
Meetings with Japan and German customers are like a military engagement. You can expect them to be punctual, precise and end the call on time. Gotta respect the culture.
London Underground, *PAY VERY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION!*
Oh why bother! -_-
The entirety of the UK would need a huge cultural shift before we can achieve stuff like this I think lol
which is impossible to do in a multi-cultural society. japan has teh advantage of homogenous society.
***** not saying it's impossible but obviously much easier to do in a homogenous society hence why it exists in places like Japan. Why would UK be able to do it
It probably has more to do with the ultra-conservative culture in the UK, the firm belief that everything can be blame on others, and not on yourself.
Agree 100%. Humans have this "adaptation" traits, it's what makes our species survive and evolve. Society can evolve, change, and adapt to its environment. Nothing in this context is impossible.
That is what is called Discipline and Good education.
This only works in countries (Japan mostly) where respect is something that is engrained into everyone, in NYC the rope restriction would have gotten the subway workers cursed out or assaulted.
They shut the gates when it is busy on the London Underground but if they straight up just roped off the stair well the Network would be renamed to London Cunterground.
A consequence of multiculturalism mixing together too many incompatible peoples.
@@HigherQualityUploads agreed.
multiculturalism is a culture to have no culture.
@@HigherQualityUploads blame it all on the immigrants, eh?
@@ben-ee9ns that's not what a melting pot is
traveled to Japan once, falling in love with the country. The cleanliness, the people, the norm, politeness, the culture, the detail on everything, the always on time culture, the silence in pubic transport, the vibrant mega city of Tokyo and Osaka, the old city and beautiful temples and shrines in Kyoto, the peaceful village, the ubiquitous vending machines, the onsen, the beautiful way souvenirs and foods are packed. Not to mention how fresh the sushi and sashimi and how delicious the ramen and kare! Japan is the developed country with advanced technology filled with people who are proud of their identity and culture. Best place to visit ever!
Actually subways in several Asian cities nowadays have achieved similar level of precision and timeliness. But of course the Japanese was the one that inspired them all.
singapore, hongkong and seoul is very good train system indeed
New Delhi's metro system is actually very good.
Repeatears Repeatears I didn't think anyone in their right mind would think of East Timor first when subways in Asia are brought to mind. But I guess I was wrong.
I';; take the City of Guangzhou - China subway over the New York City Subway any day .
Italian trains... NEVER BE ON TIME
30min ~1hour late? on their standard "it is on time"
when i was traveling Italia i had to transfer train to train. and my train was late like 20 min... i won't be make it on time...
So, i complained to train crew and his answer was "Don't worry they will be late too";;;
cuz I thought he is just giving me excuse not to recompense I did not believe him!
So,when i arrived on transit station. I ran like hell to that platform while carrying 48inch big 42Kg heavily baggage(i was running so hard i broke one of handle of it;;)
And Train was late 1 hour without any notice;;;
wow
if they arrived early. why don't they just wait?? lol
so when traveling Italy by train should be there on time or 30 min late
traveling England 30 min early
thx for the tip!
redford 이 India too, lazy bastards
Not if Mussolini was in power...

I love Japan Transportation.. ❤ from Jakarta-Indonesia
Shinkansen Jakasura Railway
Was in Tokyo for a week and their trams were always on time.
Can see why the Japanese prefer them over cars. Even though there was little traffic there in the first place.
Aya ya Tokyo and big cities are the only places where trains are convenient. Everywhere else people use cars.
Aya ya nahhhhh... I’m Japanese but cmon the traffic can be really bad. Once I had to wait 2 hours to move a block!!!!!!! I am proud of our metro systems tho
I accidentally press on this video and after 30 seconds I couldnt stop watch
Same
Japan: 1 minute is late
Italy: 1 hour is early
Bitrey sadly, that’s right. The public train service in Italy is efficient but sometimes it’s very late, especially on regional trains. I live in Italy, and I have experienced a delay of *200 minutes* last year.
Bitrey Italy, on lockdown
What I'm proud of is these accuracy and convenience of service prevail among all the transportation systems in Japan. Not only Tokyo Metro but other metros, JR lines, private railways and even buses and airlines, all operating based on this principle. It's really beautiful in some sense when you see how mobility of passengers is realised here.
After seeing people in Japan perform so amazingly disciplined and devoted to their work, I must say: To all the nations and cultures out there: if everyone of us brings in the best he can do and what he's learned within his environment, and if we manage to overcome the daily struggles between ourselves and see the benefits in each other, then indeed we shall have a bright future!
Japan has had that mindset for centuries. Even in a modern technological empire community cohesion and social order can mean the difference between safety and mass deaths since Japan is well known for dangerous earthquakes and shoreline emergencies which need the community working together to save each other.
What is the main difference between western and japanese private transportation companies ? Japanese ones want safety and reliability, Western ones just want more money ...
And in schools in the United States when accountability took over everyone got upset since there was no tie in with financing and performance. No real incentive to change other than to push out some who were intended to help.
Japanese ones also want money, but to get that, they need to be fast, safe and reliable to stay in business.
Don't try to make them look like saints, because they aren't.
If citizens in other countries demanded the same standards, then they would get it.
Culture of shame is very strong in Japan, even in corporate life
God bless Japan and more power thank you for helping the railway projects in the Philippines
Coincedentally, I decided to watch this while waiting for my train to get home. And I'm still waiting.......
Everyone says "German efficiency" but they haven't met the Berlin BVG. Their mentality is more like .. who can we blame today for running late? Their only job is to run every 5min (which is more like every 10min in reality). 1:50min would be a dream come true.
I honestly envy Japan for their train service.
In Moscow subway trains comes every 90 seconds
Meanwhile in Germany....Train delayed by 5 Minutes....delayed by 15 minutes...delayed by 60 minutes...train cancelled...FUUUU!!
Milk and Duck gaming in the US. FUCK IT ITS THE CAR FOR ME
WHAT'S SO SURPRISING ABOUT THAT? MOSCOW METRO RUNS EVERY 90 SECONDS WITHOUT DELAY !
There is a difference between a "metro" and the mainline trains.... the British equivalent would be the london underground victoria line. Mainline trains are often late.
Thank you for traveling with Deutche Bahn
and the sad thing about it is, nobody cares because it's usual business in europe...
you almost expect a train to be at least 5 minutes to late
i love how they call his time off as a margin of error, in America, 15 minutes late is good.
I use both commuter and regional trains in Stockholm Sweden. And I consider 1 min to be late. But the train companies consider 24 hours to be a slight delay.
Malaysia could learn from Japan in terms of efficiency of it train services, cleanliness and discipline
Arif Radzuan Campbell been using the mrt a few times recently. So far it's been great as compared to the other lines
Hee Sing Sia New mrt is good but has room for improvement
Our MRT drive tooo slow! And is a bit costly... If the fares is cheaper then I think I'll use it more
ChickenHead Man yeah our trains suck so much
MRT trains drive 70km/h on average, Tokyo Metro trains as seen on this video drives around 50km/h... Appreciate what you have.
This is so beautiful, I honest to God nearly cried.
An absolutely fascinating culture and the infrastructure of the Metro is amazing. Throughly enjoyed and thanks for posting!
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤
When the Philippine MRT trains break down (which is like twice a week) all they say is "Sorry for the inconvenience" and you still pay full price for wherever you've stopped.
It was maintained by the Japanese for 15 years with no hitches whatsoever and running at 60km/h. Then the government decided it was having enough of that and changed to inexperienced maintenance providers (one of which was incorporated only two months before it was given the contract without even bidding). Now it can only run at 45km/h with weekly disruptions and at least 3 accidents with injuries for the last 5 years. And now the new trains they bought, which totals around 76M USD, are found to be unusable.
Meanwhile, at Amtrak...
Insert Name and germany
Darmstadt in Action
Probably rain on the railway tracks 😂
Insert Name to be fair Amtrak covers larger distances and doesn't own their railroad
and also JAKARTA, the train have to arrive 5 mins but the train is actually arrive 10 mins later, i'm so upset
Japan's government invests hundreds of billions of dollars on its public transportation, national health and education. In U.S. the feds abandoned Amtrak, cut spending on infrastructure, health and education. Japan is a proud culture that values its people. U.S. is more about global interests more than bettering of its society.
In Belgium, a train is considered to be on time when it arrives at its final destination with less than 15 minutes delay.
but when there is 2mm deep snow it's an "extreme weather condition" and cancel services. How many times I got stuck in a random city while I was living there....
I'm in year 9. I had most of these questions this year in 1 out of 3 of my end of year maths exams.
It's satisfying to see Evan struggle as much as we did.
Meanwhile, on the Long Island Rail Road and New York City Subway...
Well, gotta give it to the MTA for the NYC subway, they're usually pretty good at being on time. The LIRR on the other hand...
"the next A train is arriving in 27 minutes"
this is why you don't hold open train doors.
Mark Moreiras wtf is that true?
In China cities,metros will come in every 3-5minutes and it wont delay
Yeah I'm gonna have to disagree with the MTA part. They're late a lot of the time especially on weekends.
whatever nyc subway is falling apart
Japan is a very amazing place
the supply needs such as workers and land space have gone to so much of a premium now that everyone understands a delay or downing of equipment could damage far more than just the problems at hand.
I was in tokyo and honestly the metro was one of my favorite things. They’re fast!
Japan ... you are amazing!!!
This really is so amazing, other countries should follow on this strict way of being on time!
I've been to Japan and it's true that their customer service is the best on the world, second to none.
When I was in japan me and my friend meet up inside the train.
NYC MTA should send a team to Japan and take LOTS of notes
NYC metro has four times as many stations, runs 24/7, and have several lines that are redundant in Manhattan. If /one/ line shuts down for maintenance, you're fine in Manhattan, but you're screwed with some lame-ass shuttle bus to replace it in the outer boroughs. A shuttle bus that has to contend with the atrocious traffic that's ubiquitous. The fact that they manage to run the trains as well as they do, for the cost that they charge is a wonder.
Dino Sarma There are tens of other railway lines including private ones. Some lines transfer right into subway lines. If we privatize the MTA, the system would be better
Stand User Leon If we do then the fares might go up
And they receive funding from the State And a City government
They should apply these in France. One train was very late so I miss the other and they just said: "there's nothing we can do". Sad and terrible.
Let's change the entire system because Alex over here had an issue with a train
Go back to your country then
Well, you'll feel very comfortable with German public transport then...1 cm of snow, and there's total chaos!
C'est vrai, et il faut qu'ils arrêtent de faire des grèves !!
JöMinör That must be a mechanical/electrical issue. So if you want it to change, be prepared to spend enough money to revamp the electrical infrastructure.
japanese...the greatest civilizations on earth
Yamamoto for one was scared shit over the plans for Pearl Harbor. When it was discovered the diplomats made a "demand to leave a negotiation session" 45 minutes after the attack he was so fuming he figured the Japanese offense was not just going to last six months but a destructive and non-forgiving attitude was awoken that day.

That's why I just use my car.
Deutsche Bahn, please take notice!!!!!!
the most difference in this video are not the driver.... its the passengers....
@@johanng956 Marking where exactly the train doors are going to stop, so that passengers can line up would help a lot. Then again, people love to crowd around the doors, so that the people inside can't get off. So yeah, it's both a Deutsche Bahn and the passengers that are the problem
Die Deutsche Bahn könnte beispielsweise Schidler aufstellen, dass man Leute zuerst rauslassen sollte etc. Der Rest macht dann Gruppenzwang etc. schon.
@@alLEDP Wie wäre es mit einer Tür zum Einsteigen und einer zum Aussteigen?
i have worked in a Japanese owned and runned factory, time precision is highly appreciated. time is gold is understatement its more like seconds are diamonds.
Yes the Japanese metro is very efficient and they’re on time. I’ve went to Japan and I love it because it was an adventure because we had no idea which line to go from places to places.
The way all the passengers act proper and respectful. That's why Japan is such a successful country. Kudos
Somebody else on a random video streak?
On the rare occasions that the train is more than a minute late in Tokyo it is practically a given that someone has died. Mechanical failures are minimal since they keep to a extremely strict maintenance schedule.
The music makes me feel lime I'm watching a late 90s, early 2000s documentary.
Mad respect for these guys in Japan. They know how to run a rail system
Meanwhile on the Dublin Metro..... Oh wait there is none! All we have is 2 tram lines which don't even connect 😑
“The margin of error is less than a second” - Mind Blown!
So much to learn from Japan!
16:26 , i work in a Big german Maintenance yard for trains myself and i can only say "Wow" . Japanese Maintenance is so much much much much more ahead of us , you wont believe me! Even the precise caretaking of every single part , im very impressed
Whole world should learn from Japan making trains run on time and technologies that will longlast.
I hope other counties will *copy the example from Tokyo,* so that we can have their nice metro in more places.
East or west Japan is the best. Not only about the metro. Cleanliness, concern for the people, etc. Is amazing
I ride this station everyday. It’s the first station and runs every 2 mins. First few Passengers who line up can seat. Those in the rope can choose to ride standing after rope releases or line up for 6 mins to be able to seat. Trains run alternative from both side of platform so while first train with full passengers prepares to go, the other train on opposite side starts allowing passengers to ride.
11:29
The English subtitles here are 36km / h, but the actual speed is 44km / h and the correct speed and error are slight.
35 km/hour..... 46 km/hour. What?!!!!!
46 km/h in where? In the video I see 35 km/h exactly. (Min. 0:27).
They did it again at 11:20. Watch the next 5 seconds and he will say 46 km/h, which is exactly what the speedometer says. o_O I'm impressed.
Winnugroho Wiratman is it slow or fast according to you?
Foorack time yourself between mileposts. for 6 seconds, you are going 60mph. for 9, 45mph. for 12, 30mph. etc etc one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand etc one Mississippi two Mississippi three Mississippi etc
Natan van Eeten Yeah! why not? In Barcelona, our Metro reaches a speed of 80 km/h between two stations in L1 (red line), but normally top speed is 70 km/h.
I'm in Canada and I feel great admiration for the Japanese Public Transport system and their overall work ethic. Well done!
MaltaMcMurchy it’s not even public lol it’s private
Wow! It's just amazing. Got to love the dedication, passion and discipline of the Japanese people. Bravo! 👏👏
The train of thumbnail picture is not Tokyo Metro. It’s Meitetsu train.
サムネイルの画像の電車は東京メトロじゃなくて、名鉄の電車
Of course any qualified railfans can identify this...
Yep, Meitetsu 1000 series, if Densha de Go is correct.
Nice
19:30 They installed the doors in 2 hours. Here in germany they would close the station for two weeks and it still wouldn't be enough time! XD
Very nice video.
Late for 1 hr
Australia public transport service: "So?"
