If you've ever stayed in the heart of Tokyo you know the JR Yamanote line well. What a feat for Japan to have it.
I always thought trains (light rail, high speed, what ever) were so much better than cars. Have more traffic? Just add more trains, no extra rails needed. Yamanote line rush hour showed me how effective that is AND how you might need more rail eventually. Rush hour had a train there every ~2 minutes and they were still packed.
Still better than sitting in stop and go car traffic. Can't wait to go back!
