Measures for Safety and Comfort
Yurikamome Line Features
-
Safety
Our trains run on designated, elevated tracks which eliminates concerns about traffic congestion and collisions.
-
Mobility
Our trains can run on routes with many curves due to the use of rubber tires and small cars.
-
Reduced Pollution
Our trains do not emit exhaust gases as they are powered by electricity, and the use of rubber tires virtually eliminates any disturbances due to noise and vibration.
-
Automation
Train operation is automated and stations are unmanned due to the use of advanced computers. This saves labor and allows us to flexibly and appropriately respond to demand.
-
Economical
Track construction costs can be reduced due to the small size and weight of the cars.
