The world’s busiest train station complex is in Tokyo. Dozens of train services converge on Shinjuku Station with intercity, regional, and local service, including numerous subway lines, and the station is served by a large bus exchange. The station complex is massive and is built into a very dense neighborhood. In many ways, the station drives the local land use patterns, but it is also a hub of commercial activity with shops and services lining halls of the honeycomb station.

Jason Slaughter from Not Just Bikes dives into the details of the station.
