Tokyo Metro will begin one-person operation on the Ginza Line from June 27.
Under one-person operation, the driver will use a monitor in the cab to check the boarding and alighting status of passengers. In addition to installing obstruction detection sensors on the platform doors, Tokyo Metro will install movable steps at locations where the gap between the train and the platform is wide, in order to prevent passengers from losing their footing or falling. If an abnormal situation occurs inside the train, the driver or an operator at the integrated control center will assess the situation and respond using the in-car emergency notification device, which is equipped with a voice communication function.
Tokyo Metro is already operating one-person trains on all sections of the Marunouchi Line, Yurakucho Line, Namboku Line, and Fukutoshin Line, as well as on some sections of the Chiyoda Line.
