It’s very Japanese of you. I’m not sure it’s the best use of funds even with a lot more $ but it’s intriguing

In my experience they did not screw around with closing the doors and some stations at least had countdown clocks that drivers could see to keep themselves on time. (My memory from when I was 10 so take it how you will)

Just closing the doors is an easy way to shave headway. Need a cooperative ridership for that.

Yes well the ferocity with which they closed in Moscow and St Petersburg certainly made me wary of screwing around with them

It probably uses different signal rules and block lengths than we do. Their ridership may be more spread out between stops or times of day than in US which would lower maximum station dwell time. Lastly, they are probably ignoring any type of recovery time.

Chicago El and CA&E used to run on one minute headways using line of sight rules. See the booklet “Cooperation Moves the Public” for details.https://www.amazon.com/Cooperation-Interurban-Historical-Society-Dispatch/dp/B004B7PZA8 …

"line of sight rules" is this at all related to the whole point-and-announce system they use in Japan? an American name for a similar system?
-
Not familiar with Japanese practices. Pretty sure you would enjoy this booklet though.
