An eco-ride light train system will be tested in October that would fall in-between the heavy subway system, and buses and taxis in the public transportation system.

Fetish....@Kame - agreed.
And with little to no makeup, as well, IMO....If I were you, I'd wear a face mask on the trains just like everybody else does. As...Good point. I used to love living on Yen and watching the dollar drop in value....So, um, how does one find his/her rooms.
And do they come gaijin-size?...That's not very surprising to me. Almost comparable with American society.
This is one of the best...That's precisely what I thought myself, but given that the powers-that-be have zero...This isn't your typical boarding school, though. It's where they send the worst...

Very exciting. I love how Japanese companies are at least trying to move towards greener solutions for today's transportation needs. Hey, Detroit! Are you paying attention?
Jordan, maybe your comment would be better pointed at state and federal governments as they are the ones that can implement real public transportation in more cities besides NY, Boston, Chicago and D.C.
Personally, I would rather see Tokyo focusing on improving bike commuting conditions as the city is relatively small and flat. For example, it only takes 25 minutes to cycle between Shinjuku and Tokyo stations. If there were less annoying red lights and less obstructions on the road and an actual bike lane, I could make that ride in 15 minutes.
Japanese already use bikes for getting around their neighborhoods, so it would seem a natural step to take that to commuting to work.
That is true, but my point was that Detroit automakers have been fighting the future for years now. They've lobbied very hard against higher fuel mileage standards instead of feeling the winds of change and moving accordingly. The comment was directed more towards companies than state and federal governments.
And lets not forget it was Chrysler that BOUGHT THE CALIFORNIA RAIL SYSTEM TO CLOSE IT DOWN TO SELL MORE CARS back in the day LOL! Ah capitalism - so wonderful! They have nearly recovered, though - I found LA public transport to be fantastic - $3 a day to jump on and off any bus till 3 am and the buses run down every major road really frequently and the subways were actually really clean and welcoming (not quite to Japanese standards but still.) Of course if you're white you do get some odd looks from people if they see you getting on or off the buses but I just put that down to them being curious about what this huge, square vehicle which wasn't a Hummer was ^_^
