Sakura-dori Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sakura-dōri Line (桜通線 Sakura-dōri-sen?) is a subway line, part of the Nagoya Municipal Subway (名古屋市営地下鉄 Nagoya Shiei Chikatetsu?) system in Nagoya, Japan. It runs from Nakamura Kuyakusho, Nakamura Ward to Nonami, Tempaku Ward, all within Nagoya. The Sakura-dōri Line's color on maps is red. In 2004, the city started to change all station signs. The new signs have a station name followed by a single letter and a number. In the case of Sakura-dōri Line, the letter is S. Officially, the line is called Nagoya City Rapid Railway Line 6 (名古屋市高速度鉄道第6号線 Nagoya-shi Kōsokudo Tetsudō Dai-roku-gō-sen?). All the stations accept Tranpass, a prepaid magnetic card.
The line opened its first section in 1989. Between Nagoya and Imaike, the line runs under Sakura-dōri Avenue, being the bypass line of Higashiyama Line. This is the only Nagoya Municipal Subway line that uses ATO system.
