How is "four lines in the Tokyo subway are government-run" specifically avoiding Tokyo? Tokyo also has its privatized subway system, but the standards of service there are identical to those of the government-run lines. They even interoperate!https://twitter.com/tonybalogna/status/1052613970102820866 …

Aren't all of the subways in Tokyo arguably government-run? They say Tokyo Metro is "privately operated," but that "private" operator's shares are 100% held by the TMG and MLIT

Going out on a limb here and guessing that this is true for the newly privatized Osaka Metro

Oooo they went through ("though") with that! This is how the JRs were privatized too, to be fair...first they "privatized" them but left them in the hands of a wholly gov't-owned company, then they gradually sold the shares. So maybe it'll be completed
