Technology was sourced from different companies, it just so happens that this is how they chose to deal with this problem. From your link:

> In Japan, the western part of the country (Kyoto and west) uses 60 Hz and the eastern part (Tokyo and east) uses 50 Hz. This originates in the first purchases of generators from AEG in 1895, installed for Tokyo, and General Electric in 1896, installed in Osaka. The boundary between the two regions contains four back-to-back HVDC substations which convert the frequency; these are Shin Shinano, Sakuma Dam, Minami-Fukumitsu, and the Higashi-Shimizu Frequency Converter.

I don't know about the details of constraining supply (medallion system), but taxis in Japan are not cheap. In Tokyo, they start at about 7 USD.

It has interrunning with GEML and GWML, so a separate system. As TfL basically owns most of it, it is co-branded the same way Overground and DLR are too.
Of course there is no such technical _need_, most kinds of these needs are driven by _legal_ requirements founded in fear of full automation. Fully automated systems were realized before your example already in Vancouver's SkyTrain (1986) and even BART was supposed to be specified to be fully automatic.
No one mentioned it because it is not the same, it is only comparable. RER is, like you said, of the same scale, but 40 years old and proven. You should be happy to bring things you like into the conversation, but not surprised that other people don't like the things you like.

Glassdoor reviews have a notice that is almost word-for-word from Yelp's. Should Google buy Glassdoor to fix their credibility problem?

By the way, Creo was the name of a Vancouver-based digital imaging software company that was acquired by Kodak in 2005. So there might be some people you are confusing with that name.
