WTF!? '24-Hour Tokyo Subway Planned'

{Fucked-in-the-head} Majority oppose 24 hour buses and trains
whatjapanthinks.com | by Ken Y-N | April 23, 2013
...one major negative issue is that currently the last train home is often the only excuse employees have for leaving work (labour protection laws are poorly enforced, and the pressure from societal norms means a lot of unpaid overtime is worked) or indeed obligatory after-work drinkies, so removing the final escape route could make the average employees lot much worse.
So, with that in mind, Yahoo! conducted an open news poll asking is 24 hour city buses and underground necessary? At the time of writing, seven days into an ten-day poll, 41,587 people have voted. 22% say both are needed, 5% say buses only, and 17% underground only. However, these three are outweighed by the noes to both, with 58% saying that both forms of round-the-clock public transport are not necessary.

Enforce labor protections laws that are already in place?

I know I know, TIJ...

It's a shame the labor laws won't be enforced. Perhaps employees could be more happier, healthier, and more productive if they worked fewer hours.

Great. No more chicks using shuden as an excuse to escape before I can ply them with enough alcohol to sleep with me.

The Shuden provides a great insight into her way of thinking. If she doesn't catch it

Remember that new all-night Roppongi <-> Shibuya bus? It's been cancelled early because no-one uses it. http://www.shibukei.com/headline/10396/ (J)
