There are usually pros and cons to every decision .......and the same applies to running the subway system 24 hours a day. Looking at the positive side, surely a city like Tokyo should be more 24 hour friendly. Not all people can afford to take a taxi home after drinking late into the night, and why not give people the option to take the train or a taxi. If some people miss the last trian they go to all night karaoke rooms or bars, or stay in the late night izakayas. Wouldn't it be better to give these people an option of when they can go home. Look how packed the last trains are .........that seems to show that people would be happy to take trains later than the last train. Why not give people the choice?
