Taking the shinkansen every day can be very expensive.

Also, many students don't have much free time or energy after school (sometimes six days a week), homework, club, juku, and any other after school activities.

My son is a student and he likes to travel on the trains but he can only really do it once a week by getting up at 4am on Saturdays.
