Our Business Infrastructure Supporting Tokyo's Core Network
Tokyo Metro operates a network of nine subway lines in the heart of Tokyo. Our network forms a tight mesh throughout the three central wards (Chiyoda, Chuo and Minato) and the surrounding Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro and Ueno areas. Our role is to provide transportation infrastructure indispensible for the economic and social life of Tokyo. We provide easy access from Tokyo's suburbs to the city center through seamless reciprocal through-services with lines operated by other railway companies. We provide a high level of customer convenience through services such as our rechargeable PASMO card.
We use pioneering technology to provide extremely safe and reliable services on a tight timetable. Our services are founded on our long-standing commitment to safety, which has been in place since the founding of the company, and the technical knowledge of subway construction and operation that we have accumulated over the years.
In addition to leveraging our network and our technology, we are also engaged in various affiliated businesses. Through these businesses, we provide finely-tuned, high-quality services that meet the daily needs of our passengers. These business activities further contribute to increased corporate value.
