It also says that including private railwaiys, there are
704 stations in Tokyo.

They have IC card pre-paid tickets called SUICA or PASMO.
You can take their trains with only one card. If you
travel in Tokyo for many days, I recommend to use
them and refund it on the last day.

Where can you buy a 2011 New York City Subway Map?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They are available all over the city and in some subway terminals for free.

Best bet is to find a book store (there are Barnes & Nobles all over the city) where you can buy different versions of subway maps for under $10. Maps are also imprinted on umbrellas and other items at the MTA store in Grand Central and at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Tourists shops often carry items like this as well.

Another free option is to print it yourself from the MTA web site (there's a PDF of the map there).

How much money dose it cost to run the London underground?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The price varies depending on how many zones you intend to travel, if you will pay cash, or use Oyster card Travelcard or Pay-As-You-Go.

However, a Zone 1 only, adult, trip will cost:

£4.50 cash

£2.10 Pay-As-You-Go

£8.80 Day Anytime Travelcard, and

£7.00 Day Off-peak Travelcard.

Beyond this, you can buy Travelcard for a week, a month, a year, there is a limit to how much your Pay-As-You-Go cost will be if you travel a lot over the course of a day, and these prices will most likely change in the near future, making this a very fuzzy list.

They are, however, correct as of December, 2013.

What are the 2 closest stations in london subway?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Leicester Square and Covent Garden (Piccadilly Line) are only 250 yards apart. This five-minute walk is also the most popular Tube journey with tourists. The journey between the two stations is almost certainly the quickest on the network, but the official Tube map reveals that Embankment station is only 100m from Charing Cross mainline station, which is also on the Northern Line. Bank and Monument in the square mile are in fact two ends of the same Tube station.
