Business report 100th anniversary of municipal transportation

After opening on April 1, 1921, Municipal Transportation celebrated its 100th anniversary on April 1, 2021, along with the city and citizens of Yokohama through tram, buses and subways, celebrating its 100th anniversary on April 1, 2021. With gratitude over the past 100 years, we have conducted various projects for the anniversary year from January to December 2021, in order to take a new step toward the next 100 years.

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 the "foot of the market."
We have created a catchphrase with a wish.

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

We worked to display photos of streetcars running in Yokohama, which was provided by citizens, and to display messages from elementary school studenｔ of neighboring elementary schools on flower trains.

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

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

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