Arakawa Line

TOEI is run by the municipal government of Tokyo. At one time streetcars blanketed Tokyo. Now only the Arakawa line is left. This line survives as there is no better subway connection and most of the line is on private or segregated right-of-way. There is talk of extending the line to Ikebukuro.
