Overview of the Green Line 6-car business

The Green Line, where the number of customers has increased steadily since its opening in fiscal 2007, has decreased significantly at present due to the impact of COVID-19, but in preparation for the future recovery of passengers, we have been working to extend the station platform and improve the depot for six cars from the viewpoint of community development along the railway line. At the end of FY2021, six-car station platforms and depots will be completed, and six-car vehicles will be introduced sequentially from late September 2022.
