The number on the sign, and the stops either side.

Share bikes

Docked share-bike ports a short walk away. Register in the operator’s app first — the dock itself sells nothing.

Port locations and live availability are the operators’ own GBFS data — docomo bike share and OpenStreet (HELLO CYCLING) via the Public Transportation Open Data Center, CC BY 4.0. Ports can be full or empty at any moment; the app is the authority.

Why some times are missing

Seibu Railway: the Public Transportation Open Data Center (ODPT) releases these station timetables under its Open Data Challenge licence, for contest entrants only, so this site cannot republish them.

Tokyo Metro, Toei and five other railways publish on terms this site can use, which is why their stations have times.

Exits aren't listed either. They come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by volunteers station by station, and this one's doors either aren't in it yet or are drawn without the numbers on the signs.

Which car to board still isn't here — it exists as posters on the platform and in no open dataset at all. Live service status covers the four Toei lines only, on their line pages: Tokyo Metro's feed is open data, but its terms don't allow passing it on the way this site delivers live information.
