фото: Yurikamome Line

Описание: A driverless, rubber-tire Yurikamome car leaves the station. This line offered the best views of any I rode in Tokyo, and attracts some tourist traffic for that reason. (But wouldn't have attracted me, had I not been shepherded by my expert Tokyo Free Guide, Hiro. I hadn't done enough homework before I left.) As Hiro explained, the Tokyo transit colossus is comprised of three systems: the Tokyo/Toei subway lines, shown at www.tokyometro.jp/en/subwaymap/pdf/routemap_en.pdf , the JR East Network, shown at www.jreast.co.jp/e/info/map_a4ol.pdf, and the independent lines like the Yurikamome, which are kinda/sorta shown at www.jreast.co.jp/e/routemaps/pdf/RouteMap_majorrailsub.pdf but are not adequately represented in any one place, so far as I know. Each independent operator is responsible for setting prices and running its own system. Real estate adjacent to the station is a big part of the deal, as explained at www.theatlanticcities.com/commute/2012/05/secret-tokyos-r... and www.jtlu.org/index.php/jtlu/article/view/280
