There is a growing movement to aggregate station timetables and provide information on websites. The Nagoya Municipal Subway, which operates six of these lines, has decided to remove all timetables on the station platforms by March.
Seibu Railway in the Tokyo metropolitan area has also removed timetables from 88 of its 91 stations. JR East will remove obsolete clocks installed in station premises at approximately 500 stations, or approximately 30% of the stations within its jurisdiction, over a period of 10 years starting in 2021.
