Mini Tokyo 3D

What Mini Tokyo 3D actually is

Every train on the Tokyo network appears as a moving object on a tilted 3D map, driven by open timetable and live delay feeds. Aircraft on approach to Haneda are included too, the model follows real daylight and weather, and tapping a train shows its service and next stop.

Why it is worth your time

Watching the Yamanote line trains hold an even spacing right around the loop through rush hour is a quietly astonishing piece of choreography.
