Counterterrorism

Since the September 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, the Yokohama Municipal Subway has been conducting inspections and self-reliance systems, including the Spanish train bombing in March 2004, and the London Subway in July 2005.

The station staff wears a "warning" armband and strengthens patrols inside the station.
The crew members are working to prevent terrorism by strengthening inspections on trains at the turnaround station.
In addition, we conduct patrol inspections of important facilities such as depots and substation equipment.
