Outline of the Green Line 6-car Project

The Green Line, which has steadily increased the number of customers since its opening in fiscal 2007, has been significantly reduced due to the impact of the new coronavirus infection. However, in preparation for the future recovery of passengers, we have been working on extending station platforms and improving depots with the aim of creating a 6-car train station platform and improving depots. At the end of FY2021, the six-car platforms and depots were completed, and six-cars will be introduced sequentially from late September 2022.

Last update date September 29, 2022
