I have heard people and some travel books say that the transport system is very difficult to navigate. Perhaps they were born in one-line subway cities. It's not hard at all to figure out. You can learn that quickly and then Tokyo is your town.

Thanks John. I guess I'll just have to man up and brave the train. I never had any problems with the subway in NYC, and I hear that the subways there are much more difficult to understand than Tokyo's subway. I'm mainly afraid of missing my stop due to the supposedly incomprehensible English voice that plays over the loudspeakers. Oh well, gotta learn sometime
