Tokyo traffic

The streets of Tokyo are full of mini trucks with a storage capacity of ten shoeboxes or less. They look funny but I’m sure they must be really convenient compared to the bigger ones. Some are very creative and colorful, others are plain white.

In Tokyo you drive on the left side of the street. The traffic is busy, but not too bad for being a city with millions of citizens. The parking is incredibly expensive in central Tokyo and since the local transportations are extremely effective people tend to not have cars. It’s basically too expensive and its actually more convenient using trains, busses and metro.
