TOKYO -- On a cloudy morning last week, every bus stop on the road leading to Tokyo's Shibuya district had at least 30 people waiting in line. A bus would come from time to time, but of course there was no room for a single passenger to get on.
The unusual sight was the consequence of the Den-en-toshi Line, a heavily traveled commuter line running directly under the road, stopping for four and a half hours Wednesday due to an electrical issue.
