Will update some stats tomorrow, but as such I know JR Yamanote line handles around 60% of Mumbai Locals with 9 or 11 cars. I have used this line for around a year and this is based on that.
.
Additionally JR line is just one of the 20+ subway & Metro lines of Tokyo :) You are always < 500m from some local station in Tokyo
