Business report for the 100th anniversary of municipal transportation

After opening on April 1, 1921, Municipal Transportation celebrated its 100th anniversary on April 1, 2021, through the operation of trams, buses, and subways, along with the city and citizens of Yokohama. In order to take a new step toward the next 100 years with gratitude for the past 100 years, we conducted a variety of projects at the anniversary year from January to December 2021.

Municipal transportation has supported the development of the city of Yokohama and has grown together with the city. Over the next 100 years, we have continued to be a “foot of citizens”
I created a catchphrase with a wish.

Commemorative headmarks were posted on all subway vehicles, and the city hall was displayed. In addition, with the cooperation of various businesses, such as shopping streets along the railway line and companies along the railway line, we developed collaborative products and commemorative exhibitions. For details, please see the 100th anniversary business report (PDF: 2,079KB).

We exhibited photographs of streetcars running in Yokohama, which are provided by citizens, and exhibited messages from nearby elementary schools in elementary school studenｔ on flower trains.

In collaboration with City Library, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2021, like municipal transportation, we held photo exhibitions, book introductions, and commemorative lectures featuring municipal transportation.

The history of the 100 years since the opening of municipal transportation is summarized in a design chronology and panels. For more information, please visit this page.

A video introducing the history of the 100th anniversary and animation works depicting the 100th anniversary in a story were broadcast on the subway, etc., and the 100th anniversary was publicized.
Animated works are the winners of the Yokohama Prize Transportation Division of the HAG (Handmade Animation Grand Prix) 2019, a short animation contest aimed at fostering and supporting young animation artists.
