I was only in Tokyo for a few days, but the fact that the last train was at midnight bummed me out quite a bit.

- baby 5y agoI don’t know many places in the world that runs the train late at night.
- marcellus23 5y agoNYC runs 24/7 and it’s great. I can’t imagine the subway stopping at midnight.
- ryan_lane 5y agoNYC also closes train lines for weeks at a time for maintenance, whereas Tokyo never does so. NYC switches train schedules after midnight to every 30m or 1h until 5 or 6. The schedules in Tokyo are at worst every 10m, but most are every 3-5m, or 5-7m until the last train. There's tradeoffs both ways. I really like being able to get a train after midnight in NYC, but I somewhat prefer the frequency and consistency of the train lines in Tokyo.
- baby 5y agoThat’s cool! I wish other cities did that too.
- presentation 5y agoIt’s a commitment to party until the trains start :)
- m4rtink 5y agoThey use the rest of the night for maintenance, to keep the insane throughput and super precise train arrival times.
