If you watch stations with transfers, like Naka-meguro, you’ll see that departures are synchronised, especially for express trains. That transfer looks like this [0] with the Hibiya (grey) line on the left, and Toyoko line on the right. You just need to cross the platform, so the transfer doesn’t take any longer than a regular train stop.

- mulmen 5y agoMy first day commuting on the Tokyo subway the train stopped two stations short of my destination. Everyone got off the train and it was clearly being taken out of service so I also got off. I didn't know why the train was out of service so I went to the map to see what my options were. By the time I figured out that my line ended and I needed to transfer to the train across the platform it was pulling away. I was the only one left on a platform that seconds earlier had what seemed like a thousand people. A few minutes later I caught the next train but it was a briefly terrifying experience. ...and now I want to go back to Japan.
