Japanese Transit 

Tokyo Subway

Tokyo Subway

Japan is the biggest transit player in the Far East. It has everything from High Speed Trains to local streetcar lines. Tokyo, of course, has the largest transit system in the country (if not the world). All of Japan's largest cities support a metro system in on form or another. Many of Japan's mid-size cities have city streetcar or interurban systems for transportation. Sadly some of the small systems are being cut back or abandoned, one such line in Niigata is featured here.
