okyo, Japan: E-money for early risers
Tokyo's metropolitan government is introducing a new reward system, whereby citizens who perform good deeds will be rewarded with e-money that they can spend. The positive actions recognized include commuting early to ease the public transport rush-hour chaos, and reusing shopping bags. Each deed will garner the equivalent of US$1 (77p). In 2019, Tokyo also trialled a scheme to ease congestion on the Tozai line metro route by offering free soba noodles and tempura to commuters who traveled outside of peak times.
