Tokyo and the surrounding region support a huge population. The resulting large number of people who commute to the city centre has necessitated the ongoing construction and maintenance of a vast railway network. Currently transportation form terminal stations to the city centre is provided mainly by Japan Railways' Ymanote Line, the TRTA and the Tokyo Public Subway. Thirteen lines, including those in only partial operation, comprise the subway system in the downtown area. The TRTA forms the heart of the system with nine lines, while the Tokyo Public Subway is relatively small in scale, with only four lines. The current research project provides the TRTA material for use in developing future management directions by data provided by the TRTA. This paper covers the first phase of this research.
