都営地下鉄大江戸線
The Toei-Oedo Subway Line in Tokyo opened in 2000 and is the second-longest linear motor subway line after the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line in Osaka.
The Toei-Oedo is also one of the most expensive metro lines ever built in Japan and was 10 years in construction. The line loops from Tocho-mae in Shinjuku with an extension from Tocho-mae to Hikarigaoka.
Important stations for connections to other lines include Ueno-Okachimachi, Iidabashi, Daimon, Shinjuku, and Nerima.

Please Do It Again
またやろう
The "Do It At Home" better manners campaign on the Tokyo subway has had a subtle verbal makeover to become "Please Do It Again" - encouraging repeated kind behavior rather than chastising the capital's stressed out strap hangers for manner misses.
Previous posters have featured a young woman applying her make up on the trains and talking on her mobile phone. Other targets have been drunks sprawled over the seats, young people taking up too much room and a commuter shaking an umbrella over fellow travelers on the stairs.
The man responsible for the striking manga-like designs is Bunpei Yorifuji, a fan of American artist Edward Hopper and ukiyo-e master Hokusai. Yorifuji bases his monthly designs on common complaints made to Tokyo Metro's Customer Relations Center (Tel: 03-3941-2030).
Tokyo Metro has been running its "manner poster" campaign since 1974.

Tokyo Metro Sign
東京メトロのロゴ
The destinctive pale blue and white Tokyo Metro sign is a Japanese design classic.
The new logo replaced the old Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) "S" style design in 2004 when the capital's subway network was renamed Tokyo Metro.
The sign can be seen at all Tokyo subway stations operated by Tokyo Metro. Toei Subway stations have a different green-leaf style logo.
