The Tokyo subway system is so easy to use that an English speaking ten-year-old could figure it out in a few minutes. To summarize, it’s perfect.
The trains are clean, quiet, comfortable, clearly marked and scheduled. I haven’t waited more than three minutes for a train to come since I’ve been here.
In terms of cost, each ride seems to be a little over a dollar. Everybody keeps a magnetic card in his wallet and swipes it over the exit when they enter/leave.
