Rules of conduct in the Japanese subway
It would seem: the subway - it is in Africa subway. But in fact, between the subway there are many differences, national identity, even its culture. Here we have a boring "Rules underground" that few people read. But the Japanese have good manners in the subway was devoted to a series of colorful posters. They are represented on the site about the history of propaganda. Japanese first subway started its work on 30 December 1927, when a private company, "the Tokyo underground railway" has opened the first line of the subway stations in the capital between Ueno and Asakusa throughout the 2, 2 km.
First of all, we should note one rather important point: the subway in Japan have never belonged to the state, although not so long ago the railways in Japan were mostly state-owned. Accordingly, the money for the construction and operation of underground never allocated from the state budget, so that the Japanese government has never had a headache about where to get the money, so necessary for the development of the metro.
First Line Ueno-Asakusa was subsequently extended to Ginza, and in 1939 - further to Shibuya. So even before the Second World War there was the Ginza line with 14 stations - from Shibuya to Asakusa. Soon after Tokyo, namely in 1933, the subway was built in Osaka, then the second largest city in Japan. Other contenders for its own subway to the Second World War, Japan has not appeared.
After the war, Japan was clearly not up to the expensive construction, especially after the defeat of Japan. But with the end of the occupation period, the underground began to build on. The next was the Marunouchi line, which was opened in the 50s. She connected the Shinjuku and Ikebukuro through the city center. Laying the entire Marunouchi line with 24 stations it was completed in 1962.
Japanese experts have identified two features of the metro in Japan:
1) Most of the comparatively recently constructed lines is designed in such a way that they can be connected with railway lines, reaching the surface of the earth, and commuter trains entering the city limits, often dive into the ground, using the subway rails.
2) Most subway construction less costly way - from the surface. Top excavated tunnel is closed with steel sheets, which is road transport. It facilitates access to tunnels for repair. But depending on the terrain and tunnels can be routed tunneling shields, displaying the train to the surface, where there is for that vacant lots, and where not - to the elevated overpass. Hence the name "Subway" toward Japan is not always justified.
As of 2003 g. Tokyo was 13 subway lines with total length of 286 km 2, is the third largest metro network in the world.
Nine of the thirteen lines of management in charge of Teito Rapid Transit (Aidan). Aidan - a special corporation established by the government and the municipal government of Tokyo. The other four lines in charge of municipal gov- ernment Tokyo (Toei). In the 23 administrative districts of Tokyo Station 224 - an average of one station per 1, 66 sq. km Capital Territory. Of course, in the central areas of the city, some subway lines converge and intersect, so there are more stations are located close to each other.
Such a large number of lines, typically allowing drive close enough to the desired location. You can change from one subway line to another, or from subway lines to suburban train of private railway companies and "East Japan Railway Company" (JR). This makes commuter trip comfortable, with the only exception that the network configuration and the transitions between the lines is often tortuous and confusing. For example, in a straight line from the station Nagatatё (line Yurakucho) station Akasakamitsuke (Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line) just 250 meters away, but the transplant from one station to the other will have to walk 500 meters and traverse the platform of another station called Nagatatё on line Hanzomon. Published a number of books with recommendations for re cages with one line to another in this handy, although the complex network of the metro. When traveling in different lines do not always have to change, because many subway trains and suburban trains of different companies provide direct connections to each other lines. For example, the Hanzomon subway line connects to line Tokyu Teng-en Toshi in Shibuya, Chiyoda subway line - the line Dzёban JR in Ayase, and the Toei Mita subway line and Nanboku - to Tokyu Meguro line at Meguro. Direct trains that connect the metro line to railway lines of private companies and JR, relieve many passengers the inconvenience transplant in suburban trips.
I imagine posters promoting good manners, which appeared in the Tokyo subway in 1976 and 1982.
