Driving in any of the cities is quite a nightmare and when one thinks of the parking fees this is another additional expense. The solution is to buy cheap tickets for public transit. Most towns do have a good public transport system and it is best to make use of these. Each town has its own kind of transport system available. There are trains and buses connecting various stations and areas and commuting is made a lot easier because of this.

Some manga produced in Japan is published weekly as part of huge 300-page anthologies of comic stories. Just like many people read newspapers on trains on the way to work, Japanese commuters read these anthologies.
