Since the original edition of this book was published, the transportation network of the metropolitan has undergone a good many changes. In the case of the subway system, some lines have been extended, and some rapid-transit lines have been added. In addition, as a result of the integration and abolition of some ministries and companies, a number of buildings in the metropolitan area have disappeared or changed location. These developments are covered in this UPDATED edition.
