Template talk:Tokyo transit
Is this box about Tokyo-to or Greater Tokyo Area? Why Chiba Monorail is in but the New Shuttle is out? Soredewa 09:47, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Its name doesn't say, but clearly, it's not limited to Tokyo. The line "Chiba Monorail • Enoden • Hokusō • Saitama • Shin-Keisei • Shōnan Monorail • Sōtetsu • Tama Monorail • Tōyō Rapid • Yokohama MM • Yokohama Subway" is almost entirely outside Tokyo. (The Tama Monorail is entirely inside Tokyo, though.) Fg2 10:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
reorganisation needed
I would like to re-arrange things on this page like the sample below (other than internal order of items) - does anyone have any objections or other suggestions ?

- Looks more or less fine to me, however;
- JR Yokohama Line should be placed between Tokaido and Yokosuka (which I already edited so).
- Other rails and Monorails/Guideways can be sorted alphabetically as well.
- I guess "AGT" is more suitable expression than "Guideways".
- Chiba Monorail, not Tokyo Chiba Monorail.
- If we are completist to include Nagareyama Line and Yukarigaoka Line, then we can possibly include Disney Resort, Shibayama Railway, Ueno Monorail, and a few more JR Lines as well. I personally wouldn't include those (for the fear of the list getting too large), but I won't oppose others try to do so. Kzaral 23:53, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Oops, you already said about internal order of items. Sorry. Kzaral 02:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'd suggest removing everything that doesn't operate inside Tokyo. If you want to add a new template for transit in Greater Tokyo, that would be a good place to put all the lines that do not operate within Tokyo. Also, the open circles for the subway lines are barely visible, and the color is completely imperceptible. I'd suggest using filled-in circles for the subway lines, or squares or something else that makes the colors easy to see. The circles on the Talk page are easy to see (but not in color).

- I'm rather negative (though not strongly) toward splitting the template to Tokyo proper and Greater Tokyo. Most commuter lines go across prefecture boundaries, so listing those on the "Tokyo only" template look a little odd to me. If you exclude them, then it's more like having a Tokyo Subway template (which itself is not a bad idea, though). Also, if we are to split the template, would the Greater Tokyo template include lines inside Tokyo proper? Excluding them makes the template inconvenient ("template for lines in Greater Tokyo but not in Tokyo proper" doesn't make much sense), while including them makes repetitive for those lines.

In Talk:Automated guideway transit, there is an unsettled argument whether human-operated guideway transit like New Shuttle is an AGT or not. I think it is safer to use Guideway. Soredewa 08:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- I see. Thanks for the info. Kzaral 18:45, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Terminal Station
"Terminals Akihabara - Asakusa - Ikebukuro - Kita-Senju - Oshiage - Shibuya - Shinagawa - Shinjuku - Tōkyō - Ueno"
I don't know what the precise definition of "Terminal" is, but I can think of many stations that belong on this list far before Oshiage and Asakusa. What happened to Ootemachi? Shinbashi? Takadanobaba?
And if Tokyo transit refers to the Tokyo area, you'd have Yokohama, Omiya, Kawasaki... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.102.40.224 (talk) 15:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
