Of all its former routes, only one, the Tokyo Sakura Tram, remains in service.

Its nickname, "Toden," distinguished it from the "Kokuden" (the Japanese National Railways electrified lines).

At its peak, the Toden system boasted 41 routes with 213 kilometres (132 mi) of track.

However, the increase in reliance on automobile traffic resulted in reductions in ridership, and from 1967 to 1972, 181 kilometres (112 mi) of track were abandoned as the Bureau changed its emphasis to bus and subway modes of transportation.

The first section of the lines opened in the listed opening years, while the last section of the lines closed in the listed closing years.
