Traffic

Japan's transportation system is highly developed, with the main means of transportation including the Shinkansen, trains, buses, taxis, airplanes, bicycles, and ferries. The Shinkansen is a high-speed train that connects major cities, and the rail network spreads across the country, with subways well-developed in urban areas. Buses are used between cities and within cities, and taxis are available 24 hours a day. Domestic flights connect major cities and outlying islands, and bicycles and ferries are also widely used. Safety and punctuality are key features of transportation.
