Nippori–Toneri Liner
The Nippori–Toneri Liner (Japanese: 日暮里・舎人ライナー, Hepburn: Nippori-Toneri-rainā) is an automated guideway transit (AGT) system between Nippori Station in Arakawa and Minumadai-shinsuikōen Station in Adachi, Tokyo, Japan. The line opened on 30 March 2008. It is operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei). Since its opening, the line has faced chronic rush-hour overcongestion, regularly ranking as one of the most crowded transit lines in Japan. Southbound congestion rates frequently exceed 170% to 180% capacity. This overcrowding is driven by rapid residential development in the Adachi and Arakawa commuter towns, which lack alternative rail corridors into central Tokyo. Because the line was built using smaller, five-car rubber-tired trainsets instead of conventional heavy rail, structural capacity constraints limit its ability to meet this massive commuting demand.
