Description

Just heading home fon yet another vent and spotted this beauty on Akiba station. it's an electronic route finder to help you plot your train route as you navigate the labyrinth that is the Tokyo public transit system. This amazing new machine has a touchscreen and will help you in four languages! Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean.

It also provides tourist info and will print out your route with instructions, not just to the train station, but also to tourist attractions all around Eastern Japan.

Very cool. Like a robot tourguide. Except...

it doesn't work. Got an out of service message when I tried to plug in a route. The little red sticker means "in testing". Guess it's not ready yet, but hopefully soon!

Ever used Tokyo public transportation? What did you think of your experience? How does it compare to public transport in your area?
