TOKYO (Reuters) - Tokyo's subway system, known for its punctuality, efficiency and at times overcrowded trains, will be tested when hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors descend on the Japanese capital for the 2020 Olympics, experts say.

Nearly 20 million people use public transport daily in the greater Tokyo area, home to more than 35 million people.
