Introducing Transit

Know the trains stopped
before you reach the platform.

After the shaking, the stations

In Japan the trains stop automatically when the ground moves, and the station crowds begin minutes later. SHINDO puts 42 JR East lines and 16 Tokyo subway lines on one calm screen, tells you only about the lines you actually ride, and after strong shaking sends a single summary of the rail around you — even when nothing is affected. No refreshing three operator websites in the middle of a crowd.

The SHINDO transit screen at 21:46 on 17 October 2026: 2 of 58 lines disrupted — the Uchibō and Kururi lines suspended — and all 16 Tokyo subway lines running normally.

Not just "suspended". What to do next.

Live status

Every line, one glance.

JR East and the Tokyo subway side by side: how many lines are disrupted, which ones, and when the status was last updated.

My lines

Only the lines you ride.

Search and star your commute — the Hanzōmon Line, the Yamanote, whatever gets you home. SHINDO only notifies you about those.

Alerts

One push per disruption.

The moment a starred line is delayed or suspended you get a single alert, and every line opens to its status, the details and what to do.

After a quake

Shaking first, then the trains.

After strong shaking (震度 4+), SHINDO sends one summary of nearby rail status — even when nothing is affected — because Japanese rail stops automatically on ground motion.

SHINDO's 'About this data' panel: status comes from the Public Transportation Open Data Center; coverage is best-effort and a line with no disruption listed is not a guarantee it is running.

Honest about coverage.

Japan has no single national real-time rail feed. SHINDO says exactly what it covers — and that no listed disruption isn't a promise a train is running.

Line status comes from JR East's public train information and from the Public Transportation Open Data Center (公共交通オープンデータセンター), used under its terms; the operators do not guarantee the data.

Screens show the SHINDO app at 21:46 on 17 October 2026. Coverage is best-effort: smaller operators may be absent, and a line with no disruption listed is not a guarantee it is running. Follow station announcements and staff instructions. All data sources.
