Trains, subways & buses
Given the Japanese love for punctuality the trains, subways, and buses all run like clockwork and are carefully mapped out so there is nearly always a connecting means of transport awaiting your arrival.
Because the lines are well patronized it isnft so expensive. Discounts are given on monthly passes. Another important point to mention here is that in Japan usually the company pays the commuting fee for their employees.
In peak hours it is uncomfortable traveling by train because of overcrowding but traveling by car to the same destination may take double to three times the amount of time. Remember it is very important to be punctual here so if in doubt leave home early.
