Japanese Transport
Words and Vocabulary

In this section on Japanese transport, we will talk about the vocabulary used to describe the various transportation that you can find in Japan.

Without doubt, Japan has the most advanced, sophisticated and yet efficient public transportation network as compared to other countries.

In big cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, you will find a lot of transport services like train, subway, bus, taxi, etc. Big cities in different prefectures are also interconnected by many modes of transportation.

It is also worth to mention about the punctuality of Japan public transportation despite being considered one of the busiest in the world.

I always wonder how they are able to maintain this strict punctuality all the time. I had this personal experience some years back when I visited a small town in Oita Prefecture (大分県), located in Kyushu (九州) Island, southern part of Japan.

I was waiting for a bus and according to the time schedule written at the bus station, the next bus would arrive at this odd timing of 5:23pm.

At that time, I was thinking the next bus would never reach the bus stop at that weird timing. However, to my surprise, the bus arrived on the dot exactly at 5:23pm based on my watch. That was my first shocking experience on the punctuality of Japan transportation system.
