JR Hokkaido will end the provision of text news on the Hokkaido Shinkansen as of March 31.
Since the line opened in March 2016, text news has been displayed on in-car ticker screens. In light of the widespread use of smartphones, tablet devices, and other mobile terminals, as well as improvements to communication environments on board trains that enable passengers to obtain information on their own, the company has decided to terminate the service. With this change, the text news service will be discontinued on all Shinkansen lines.
Due to rolling stock operation arrangements, the text news may continue to be displayed temporarily even after April 1.
