Tokaido Shinkansen
Down To The Second
. . . an average of 365 trains run each day on the line. This means that trains traveling at some of the top speeds in the world are running every three to six minutes, which is the same operational pace as the commuter trains in Tokyo. They carry an average of around 452,000 passengers. Despite the train frequency and passenger volume, the line has not experienced any passenger fatalities from accidents like collisions, derailing, or fire, during its entire history.
In fiscal 2016, around 130,000 services ran on the line, with an average delay per train of just 24 seconds. Considering that there were unavoidable delays during that period due to natural causes, such as earthquakes, heavy rain, and blizzards, this means the normal trains ran on time almost down to the second.
