Conventional Train

Shinkansen

(JR East in-house document)

Additionally, railways in Japan are highly respected in society, and due to the national character of the Japanese people, highly punctual operations are expected.

For JR East lines with large passenger transport volume and high transport density, even a short train delay (2 or 3 minutes) can result in crowds of passengers at stations.

Operation improvement

JR East must be reliable to respond to customer expectation

JR East’s strong points

We have experience and know-how of not only high-speed, but also

urban, suburban and regional transport services. And we have provided

these services with a high reliability and punctuality.

We have experience and know-how of operation and maintenance

services as an integrated company. In addition, we have rolling stock

manufacturing business.

We think that JR East is the only railway company that has these

experience and know-how.

We have wide range of experience that can respond to any needs or

problems.
