[edit] Merge from Tokyo Subway
As it stands now, Tokyo Subway is largely a duplicate of Tokyo Metro, and it seems rather hopeless to keep it in its intended purpose of discussing the Tokyo subway system as a whole (Tokyo#Transportation already does a decent job of that). Jpatokal 10:59, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
- A complete merge is a bad idea, it will mess up all interwiki links (again). The Tokyo subway lemma needs to remain as it is. I would suggest putting all information on the lines (stations, history, technical data) in the Tokyo subway article, and leaving the company data (founding, ownership, revenues etc.) in the articles Tokyo Metro and Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation. My main argument is user-friendlyness: Most non-Tokyoite readers will be confused by the split in two systems and would rather like to have all information on the lines in one article. -- Mkill 07:02, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 6
What does the number 6's absent from the line numbers indicate?? Georgia guy 22:43, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Tokyo Metro is one of the two subway operators in Tokyo. Their lines are numbered jointly. Line 6 is part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation's Toei subway system. Fg2 00:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Numbering scheme
What is the difference netween line numebrs and line letters? It should be noted.
- Basicly none. Is just different names for the same thing. Users prefer to call it by the long name (for example: Ginza Line instead of G line), for foreigns, I suppose I'd me easier to say G followed by the station (G-03).
- I suggest you to go to Tokyo's official transfer guide for fun, I tried it and is kind of cool playing with it. Y ^_^ Y
