OK, here’s the deal. I just moved to Higshiyama and my commute (via Kyoto Station) will thankfully now start with the subway instead of the bus. My situation is, if I take the 7:22 from Higashiyama I would have two minutes to connect to the Karasuma Line from the Tozai Line. So far I’ve been playing it safe and taking the 7:13.
I’ve timed this out, know which car to use, etc. It normally takes me 90 seconds door to door (In fact today I made a theoretical 1 minute transfer on an earlier train). But for those of you with more experience: I know the subway is pretty reliable but is that two minutes reliably two minutes? How often is the Tozai a minute late, and does the Karasuma train ever pull out 30 seconds early? I can just keep taking the earlier train but those daily 10 minutes of extra sleep add up… Thanks for your input.
