[edit] Teleport?

Hopefully someone in the know can define "teleport" in this context. m-w.com only has "to transfer by teleportation", which obviously doen't apply here.

"the Teleport." Note the article and the capitalization, indicating that we're discussing a proper noun, the Tokyo Teleport. Sekicho 05:57, Mar 12, 2004 (UTC)

...as in "Tokyo Teleport Town", which I believe is the full name. Like a port for telecommunications, get it? Jpatokal 16:49, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Name

Hey, shouldn't this article be Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit, if you know formal name of the company? --Izumi5 14:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree to the rename. Current article name is supposedly an incorrect back-formation of TWR. The formal corporate name is Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit, Inc. as seen in http://www.twr.co.jp/. Sushiya 05:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Done. --Sushiya 22:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Split

The article seems to cover both Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit and Rinkai Line. Both Korean and Japanese Wikipedia provide separate articles for these. —Tokek 04:16, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, the Japanese Wikipedia likes to separate companies and rail lines, but I don't think there's any point to this as TWR's only line is Rinkai. Jpatokal 12:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
