When using the subway in an unfamiliar city, the name of the station and transfer location are as important as the color of the line. With the World Subway Typing Game, you can pre-enter the cities and routes on the actual schedule so you can find familiar names on local signs faster.
Choose a city that fits your travel itinerary
Rather than trying to memorize the entire city, start by choosing the same city as your destination. Even in places with many routes, such as Tokyo or Osaka, you can determine the scope of practice appropriately by prioritizing routes leading to the airport, surrounding accommodations, and major tourist attractions.
Remember the three stations before and after the transfer station
Rather than memorizing just one transfer station, try entering three together, including the previous station and the next station. Even if you miss an announcement while on the train, looking at the station names before and after will help you decide when to get off.
Learn local notations and sounds together
The Japanese station names of Tokyo and Osaka, the English station names of New York, and the Chinese character notation of Taipei may be unfamiliar. If you enter it directly in the game and view it along with the route map, it becomes easier to remember by connecting the letters on the signs and the announcements.
Check the latest operation information before departure
The game is great for learning station names and route flow, but it doesn't replace the actual day of travel, whether there's construction, service changes, or express stops. Please check the latest information from the operator before departure and just before transfer.
