- This Year the Malaysian Delegates were the largest delegation where around 100 Participants were attending this occasion.
- SUBWAY TRAIN
- Glance picture in the Public Transportation, we observed that the Subway train is really very efficient and effective way to travel in Tokyo.
- Maps are available to be taken by us showing the name of the Station and with numbering system, where we can view that many Japanese workers are taking this subway train to go their office and back home.
- GRAB MAPS IN SUBWAY
We can always grap a map in the subway station and also can see inside the train the electronic board sign which shows the next train stop over or station that we are heading.
On the first day there were 2 guides from the Indonesian delegation who is staying in Japan or coming back and forth to Japan and Indonesia.
On the Second day, me and my wife and Lia had tried to take the Subway by ourselves where we can asked the Station Officers our way and by looking at the map and the electronic board sign in the train;
- JAKARTA CAN LEARN FROM TOKYO
Jakarta which every day experienced heavy traffic jam can really learn from Japan how to manage a modern, manageable, efficient and effective mass public transportation.
Well this is just a glance view of my visit to Tokyo this April 2012;
