[edit] History

The western part of Adachi Ward is poorly served by public transport and planning of the line started in 1985, with the initial intention of constructing a full-fledged subway. However, this was scrapped due to the high cost and projected low ridership, and a more cost-efficient AGT system was selected instead. Construction of the line started in 2003, and service commenced on March 30, 2008. The main contractor was the Tokyo Metropolitan Subway Construction Company, which also built the Toei Ōedo Line.

[edit] Technical details

The fully elevated, double-tracked line is 9.7 km long with 13 stations, and it offers interchange to the Yamanote Line at both Nippori and Nishi-Nippori Stations. A journey from end to end takes 20 minutes, compared to as long as 60 minutes by bus during rush hour. The fare from Nippori to Minumadai-shinsuikōen is ¥320.
