Are you kidding? It’s horrific. Going from JR was a breeze compared with the hike you have to make now of endless staircases (no escalators going down, all are turned to up only in the am commute). It’s awful. Added 15 minutes to my morning commute plus removed one of my favorite stop offs, the Douter coffee shop inside the Tokyu platforms area just past the wicket (which you could see the train board from and keep an eye on trains, so you could stay longer if you saw there was a delay on the ‘big board’).

Improvement? Not sure for who. Makes me want to drive.
