#2Mass transit becomes much more useful if all that waiting could be reduced.
Especially when a transfer or two is needed.

yep, the Seattle light rail has a much less convenient route for me than the busses, but the the train is so much more frequent (and usually isn't 20 minutes late) that I always go for the train

If you watch stations with transfers, like Naka-meguro, you’ll see that departures are synchronised, especially for express trains. That transfer looks like this [0] with the Hibiya (grey) line on the left, and Toyoko line on the right. You just need to cross the platform, so the transfer doesn’t take any longer than a regular train stop.

#7The amount of detail in this map is absolutely incredible. Pretty much every conceivable rail service is present. I especially like the route planning feature. It’s no Hyperdia [1], that thing is a monster, but it’s super duper cool for local trips. As someone who’s messed around with Tokyo transit apps as half-baked personal projects, color me impressed!

One of my favorite counter-intuitive things about mass transit is that well-designed transfers tend to reduce overall travel time for everyone, even without timed transfers:

#10I can't quite tell whether it even shows where lines go under/over one another and knows that exactly, but regardless, it's a wonderful visualization! I wonder at what level the train positions are known exactly versus approximated?
Is there a simple flat / non-3D version of it?
