Toyo Rapid Railway Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tōyō Rapid Railway Line (東葉高速線 Tōyō Kōsoku-sen?) is a commuter rail line owned by Tōyō Rapid Railway Co., Ltd., that runs between Nishi-Funabashi Station in Funabashi City, Chiba and Tōyō-Katsutadai Station in Yachiyo City, Chiba. The name Tōyō (東葉?) means 東京 (Tōkyō) and 千葉 (Chiba). The Tōyō Rapid Railway is known to be Japan's most expensive railway.
The line is essentially an extention of Tokyo Metro Tōzai Line. There is a plan to further expand the line to Sakura Staion of JR Sōbu Line.
