Tokyo Train 4

Tokyo Train 4 is a railway management game about transporting passengers during Japan’s evening rush hour. You send trains from terminal stations to commuter-town stations, collect fares and aim for the highest operating profit. Choose from more than 50 routes across Japan, including routes in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka; new routes are included, and you do not need to have played Your Train 1/2.

Run the trains

You can operate up to five types of trains, including local trains, express trains and Shinkansen. Operation is straightforward: send each train at the right time. You can adjust the difficulty at the information center by changing the target for clearing a route, while the train operation itself stays simple even as routes become more complicated.

Earn operating profits

A train earns fares when passengers get off. Fares decrease over time, and stations farther to the right have higher fares. The ride time, shown above a moving train, is deducted from the fare; transporting passengers more quickly reduces this deduction. Each station displays the number of passengers waiting to travel to a destination, and a departure cost is deducted whenever a train leaves. Express trains and Shinkansen also collect express charges, making their operation important to pursuing profits.

Timetables and transfers

You can review the results of your operations on the timetable, as well as view the timetable itself. Transfers work differently from the previous game: at a siding station, a waiting train connects with an express train, shortening the waiting train’s ride time. Transfers are from express trains to local trains.
