TOKYO — Hey Washington commuters, we know you’ve got it tough there. We heard about the delays and the outages and the safety problems and all that, and we don’t mean to rub it in. We just thought you might be interested in seeing how a subway system can work well.
So take a look at how it’s done in Tokyo, where the population in the greater metropolis is 38 million and accommodates more than 8 million passengers a day. One station alone — Shinjuku — sees an average of 3.64 million passengers going through it each day, making it the world’s busiest station, as certified by the Guinness Book of Records. Shinjuku has more than 200 exits and even has its own app just to help people get around the station.
