The concept of this train operation wish everyone’s health and happiness and move on to a new future. A photo spot will be set up at the station along with the operation, and an event will be held at Shiba Daijingu, a photo posting campaign on Instagram with sale of original goods and so on.

(Reference)

At Tokyo Monorail, taking the opportunity of changing the station name of Haneda Airport 3 stations in March, we will refine the “value that can only be found in Tokyo Monorail” and become a “presence that continues to be selected” as the brand concept tag line.

At Tokyo Monorail, we are continuing efforts to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infection. At stations, station staff disinfect areas that are often touched by users, such as automatic ticket vending machines, near counters, and escalator handrails. In addition, a disinfectant solution is installed near each ticket gate, and a sheet is installed to prevent splashing.

In addition to disinfecting vehicles during regular cleaning, we also disinfect parts such as straps and handrails that the crew often touches during the turnaround time at the station. In addition, outside air is introduced when the door is opened and closed when arriving at the station, and the inside of the vehicle is properly ventilated by an air conditioner. In addition, we are working to further promote ventilation inside the vehicle by opening some windows inside the vehicle in consideration of the weather.

In “Kiki & Lala Monorail”, a coating agent with antiviral and antibacterial effects using photocatalytic action is sprayed on the parts that the user touches, such as hanging straps and handrails, and will be expanded to other formations in the future.
