Fukutoshin Line (newer photos)

Yes, it's been almost 3 months. I took a few photos of the new subway line back in July but keep forgetting (or no time) to put them up.

I am trying to use Picasa for once, but not liking it that much...I still prefer Opera.

Here is the album link: Tokyo July 2008.

The only problem I found with Shibuya Station's platforms are that, there are two platforms, going exactly to the same direction since it's the terminal station. When you go down the stairs, you don't really want to run for the train (if you are in a rush) because one is the rapid train, the other one is slow one, which stops at every station. I had thought that the right side would always have the rapid train and the left platform the slow one. But apparently, they haven't decided on that... It's fast enough even with the slow train to go to Ikebukuro, but I just don't like the fact that I make the wrong choice.

I know there are those electronic signs indicating which train is rapid or slow, but by the time I get to the bottom of the staircase and look up at those panels, it's too slow. I suppose that's the only thing I have to complain about Fukutoshin. Oh, yeah, train frequency is also not as high as I'd expected.

At least it's super organized in other aspects, though changing to other lines, it'd take some walking because this is a really deep underground line. But anything that'd get me from Shibuya to Shinjuku Sanchome (going to Kinokuniya) without switching to JR is better than anything.
