The Tokyu Corporation announced that train services, which were disrupted due to unforeseen circumstances, are planned to gradually resume operations starting at around 11:30 PM. The resuming of the service comes as a relief for the nighttime workers and travellers who rely on the public transportation system for mobility. The exact cause of disruption has not been disclosed. The acknowledgement of the issue and immediate efforts to rectify it indicate the company's commitment to its service.

Public transportation in Japan is heavily utilized by citizens. Its function is critical to many, especially those who work overnight shifts such as office workers, service industry staff and even students. Thus, its prompt resumption carries significant weight in Japanese society. Interruptions in these services are taken seriously and companies are expected to solve these quickly to prevent disruptions in the daily rhythms of people’s lives.

Similarly in the US or EU, public transportation plays a crucial role in everyday life. Disruptions can severely affect commuters, especially those who rely on these services to travel to work or home. In comparison, the US and EU may have alternative solutions in the form of other transport services like buses, metros, or rideshares, but the expectation of quick rectification remains the same.
