This page is about Tokyo's metro system, the subway and the train stations. The metro system consist of the city's own lines and private lines.

Tokyo is known for its subway, consisting of a huge network of stations and lines. It is modern and very effective, but it is sometimes complicated since even if you have a day pass for the city’s own subway line, Tokyo Metro (9 lines totally), you have to buy separate tickets for the private ones, such as Toei line and JR (Japan Railways), that often goes above ground. There are separate cars for women on holidays. It is very well structured, with people politely lineing up in marked lines, waiting for the external doors to open, and it is rare to see people rush, except for at the largest stations. Tokyo Station, Shinjuku Station, Ikebukuro and Shibuya are the largest ones. A remarkable behavior is that passengers that stand up don’t stand face to face with each other, and it is forbidden to talk on the cellphone. Tokyo Metro opened in 1927 as Tokyo Underground Railway and has 179 stations, 2773 cars, 6.8 million passengers a day and 9 lines totally. The system lenght is 195.1 km. Tokyo Station in Marunochi is considered the main station and has a classical renaissance facade, within walking distance to the Imperial Palace. The interior though, is very modern. Toei subway begun in 1960, has 4 lines, a system lenght of 109 km, 106 stations and 2.8 million riders a day. Totally the two operators have about 10 million riders a day and almost 300 stations!
