>a US$200 cab ride away
It seems a little disingenuous to quote the taxi price when there are numerous train services available, of which the fastest still only costs ~$25.
I'm not disputing your wider point, but it's not helped by throwing in misleading facts like that.
- WildUtah 10y agoI meant to point out how far away it is, not to imply that taxis are a good choice. They are not. Tokyo and its surrounding countryside towns even as far away as Narita have the world's best train system and you should always prefer it. So I strongly endorse your advice to any travellers reading.
- aninhumer 10y agoSurely a more useful measure of how far away it is, would be the time it takes, rather than the taxi price as a proxy for distance? It's ~60mins to Tokyo station, compared with ~30mins from Haneda. And depending on where you're going that difference can disappear quickly. The time to Ueno is ~40mins either way.
