The brand spanking new Fukutoshin ("F") Subway Line opened today to much fanfare. This new line will provide the harried commuter from Saitama Prefecture (north of Tokyo) direct access to the Shibuya district of Tokyo. Apparently 2000 people lined up at various stations in the morning to get their commemorative tickets. I didn't make that, but I stopped by that evening at the southern terminus, Shibuya, to give it a ride. It's not terribly remarkable, but this strange, futuristic looking shell covers the escalators leading down to the platforms.
