    Tokyo Metro to Implement Easy-To-Use Ticket Vending

    18-19 February 27, 2018 Tokyo Metro to implement easy-to-use ticket vending machines for travelers unfamiliar with its subway lines Successive implementation in 69 stations starting with Ueno Station on the Ginza Line on Tuesday, March 27 Tokyo Metro (Head Office in: Taito Ward, Tokyo; President: Akiyoshi Yamamura) will implement ticket vending machines that can be used with ease and in comfort by passengers who are unfamiliar with the use of Tokyo Metro subway lines, including foreign travelers to Japan whose numbers continue to grow in recent years. Starting with the Tuesday, March 27, 2018 implementation of these ticket vending machines at Ueno Station on the Ginza Line, which just underwent renovation last December, the machines will be successively implemented at Asakusa Station and other stations with considerable traveler traffic. Tokyo Metro has been engaged in this endeavor, which has involved machine development, execution and operation jointly conducted with the Bureau of Transportation under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, since 2016. Two new functions have been added to the ticket vending machines, namely “station name search using pinyin” and “amount buttons on the standby screen,” upon their test operation. Additionally, the ticket vending machines for travelers to be installed at Ueno Station, Asakusa Station and Ginza Station will be outfitted with a sizable 32” display, which is larger than a conventional configuration, so that the screen can be easily seen when families and groups use the machines. Going forward, Tokyo Metro will continue endeavoring to ensure that both Japanese and foreign passengers can use its subway lines with ease and in comfort to fully enjoy all that the city Tokyo has to offer.

    Shinkansen - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 1048 AM

    Shinkansen - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 10)48 AM Shinkansen The Shinkansen (Japanese: 新幹線, pronounced [ɕiŋkaꜜɰ̃ seɴ], lit. ''new trunk line''), colloquially known in English as the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. Initially, it was built to connect distant Japanese regions with Tokyo, the capital, in order to aid economic growth and development. Beyond long-distance travel, some sections around the largest metropolitan areas are used as a commuter rail network.[1][2] It is operated by five Japan Railways Group companies. A lineup of JR East Shinkansen trains in October Over the Shinkansen's 50-plus year history, carrying 2012 over 10 billion passengers, there has been not a single passenger fatality or injury due to train accidents.[3] Starting with the Tōkaidō Shinkansen (515.4 km, 320.3 mi) in 1964,[4] the network has expanded to currently consist of 2,764.6 km (1,717.8 mi) of lines with maximum speeds of 240–320 km/h (150– 200 mph), 283.5 km (176.2 mi) of Mini-Shinkansen lines with a maximum speed of 130 km/h (80 mph), and 10.3 km (6.4 mi) of spur lines with Shinkansen services.[5] The network presently links most major A lineup of JR West Shinkansen trains in October cities on the islands of Honshu and Kyushu, and 2008 Hakodate on northern island of Hokkaido, with an extension to Sapporo under construction and scheduled to commence in March 2031.[6] The maximum operating speed is 320 km/h (200 mph) (on a 387.5 km section of the Tōhoku Shinkansen).[7] Test runs have reached 443 km/h (275 mph) for conventional rail in 1996, and up to a world record 603 km/h (375 mph) for SCMaglev trains in April 2015.[8] The original Tōkaidō Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, three of Japan's largest cities, is one of the world's busiest high-speed rail lines.

Shimbashi Station is located at about the middle of the Ginza Line. It is a transfer station for JR, Toei subway lines, and the AGT system (the Yurikamome). Increases in the number of passengers in recent years have caused major obstructions to passenger flow. In addition, the structure of Shimbashi Station is integrated with the piers of the JR Bridge, and is adjacent to the piers of the Tokaido Shinkansen Bridge. Based on passenger flow simulations under the configurations of the existing station, this plan proposed sweeping changes to the layout of the station to alleviate congestion on the platforms and facilitate smooth transfers to other modes of transportation. INTRODUCTION The Tokyo Metro Ginza Line (“Ginza Line”) became the first subway in the eastern hemisphere when the 2.2-km stretch between Asakusa and Ueno stations opened on December 30, 1927.
