The Tokyo Subway often has direct service to other types of train lines including JR and private lines such as the Keio, Odakyu, and Tobu lines.
It is important to not confuse the Tokyo Subway with Japan Rail (JR), which charges a separate fee from the Toei and other private lines.
For example, the Toei map represents the Toei Oedo Line as a circle in the centre, implying a key function for Tokyo's whole public transport system; the Tokyo Metro's map saves the central ring line for the marunouchi line and JR Yamanote Line.
