Concluded the first part on the description of transport in the city of Tokyo, we continue our story. I continue to treat people's behavior on several occasions and not only when it comes to transport. Resume on the cleanliness of the streets. Always candid and without even a cigarette butt on earth. How do you ask? Simple: you can not smoke on the street! Nothing less smoke no cigarettes around.
No smoking in any public place (train stations, beaches, roads ...). But because Japan does not discriminate against any sector, in the street (but also in the beaches and local) there is always an area for smokers.
is easy to see around the corners because of some special street where the smokers gather outside to smoke their cigarettes, ashtrays with cigarette butts and trash to the finite.
It remains strange street cleaning considering the fact that it gets really hard to find a basket. On the latter point is perhaps debatable, However, it is surprising that although there are, the streets remain tidy.
yet another demonstration of the sensitivity on the cleanliness of public spaces and roads in particular are the cleaning of the wheels of a truck in leaving a construction site. Since it is a fact difficult to believe, the document made with a photo
Already we have entered a minimum in a car, we continue the traffic issue. If Tokyo were to keep the average person's car in Rome (706 cars per 1000 inhabitants) only center there would be something like 8 million and a half by car. Crazy! I could not find the number of cars per inhabitant, but I can assure you that the number is much lower. Most cars you see around are taxis and buses. The people in fact move or two media or with the very efficient metro. To discourage car use (to increase the traffic ... and the beauty of the streets) in the metropolis because you can not park on the roadside. No sir. No double / triple ... but not individual files. Do not you park and nothing else. Look there are paid parking lots located in areas of the city with good access and easy to reach. Moreover, these parks are "controlled" at least three brigades entry / exit into the parking lot so that does not require too much time (and hampering traffic). The three men are charged with: one to stop the traffic for a second one to stop the traffic of pedestrians in one direction, one for me to pedestrian traffic in the other direction. Time required to let the machine: 3 sec.
addition, if you want to own a car you must prove to have a place where staff able to park, otherwise no one can sell. I can understand that the system is a bit 'tricky, but you want to put a smooth road, and have a beauteous eyes on the road?
Within the topic respect to the other little details I conclude with another typical Japanese. Whenever you are given something, something that is given to you to put both hands to form a kind of shell and with a slight bow, be it money, the receipt and any other thing, thanks (although in reality you had to be to thank you) with a virgoroso: gozaemas arigato!
