That and the old saw real estate saw of location, location, location is even more true in Tokyo. Luckily for people who interpret location as I do, most Tokyoites seem to still think primarily in terms of proximity to certain lines rather than the <em>direction</em> in which they'll usually be travelling. MTC, I fell for the yellow stripe on the side of the train, too. Ochanomizu has the beige concrete arches and a step up in the middle of the platform, so that's not it. I know what Ken's thinking and he's convinced me. I'd add: look at the uniforms. The uniforms have changed, but not much. It’s all about timing, Turner.

That's not my guess, though. Here's my hint for the line: The stickers on the doors. That company has been using those stickers on its doors for years on its lines and still does. MTC, thanks.
