【ついに実現？】西鉄貝塚線　地下鉄箱崎線が「直通運転」へ　西鉄社長と福岡市長が合意

Regarding the long-standing issue of direct service between the Nishitetsu Kaizuka Line and the Fukuoka City Subway Hakozaki Line, Nishitetsu President Hayashida and Fukuoka City Mayor Takashima met and agreed to proceed with a full-scale study. Currently, the Kaizuka Line, which connects Nishitetsu Shingu Station to Kaizuka Station, connects with the Subway Hakozaki Line at Kaizuka Station, but a transfer is required to reach the city center. This inconveniences users and is a cause of congestion on the Kaizuka Line during rush hour, and has been a long-standing issue. At the meeting, a policy was indicated to consider future plans to realize direct service, including a plan to increase the number of trains on the Kaizuka Line from the current two cars to six cars. However, realizing direct service will require significant costs for equipment renovations, so securing national subsidies remains a major challenge.
