【日本一の赤字地下鉄】神戸市営地下鉄海岸線 大赤字の現状とその理由とは…？

As of 2024, there are a total of 46 subway lines in Japan. This time, we'll be looking at the Kobe Municipal Subway Kaigan Line (Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture), the line with the largest deficit among them. The 7.9km journey between Sannomiya/Hanadokei-mae and Shin-Nagata takes approximately 14-15 minutes, and as its name suggests, it runs along the ocean side. However, compared to the Seishin/Yamate Line, which is also part of the Kobe Municipal Subway, the Kaigan Line has a much smaller presence and is even less well-known. Naturally, it's also far behind in terms of ridership. So, in this article, we'll provide an overview of the Kobe Municipal Subway Kaigan Line's line and usage, and then delve into the current state of its huge deficit and the reasons for it! ◆Video Contents◆ 00:00 Prologue 01:29 Overview of the Kobe Municipal Subway Kaigan Line 03:38 Let's Ride It! ① Before Boarding 05:33 Let's Ride It! ② Sannomiya-Hanadokei-mae Station → Old Foreign Settlement-Daimarumae Station 06:19 I actually rode it! ③ Old Foreign Settlement-Daimarumae Station 07:51 I actually rode it! ④ Old Foreign Settlement-Daimarumae Station → Harborland Station 08:16 I actually rode it! ⑤ Harborland Station 09:27 I actually rode it! ⑥ Harborland Station → Wadamisaki Station 10:00 I actually rode it! ⑦ Wadamisaki Station 11:46 I actually rode it! ⑧ Wadamisaki Station → Shin-Nagata Station 12:32 I actually rode it! ⑨ Shin-Nagata Station 13:46 The current state of the huge deficit 16:24 Why is the deficit so high and what are the future measures? 1) Low demand for the route 18:23 Why is the deficit so high and what are the future measures? ② The Decline of Kobe City 19:41 Ending ◆Correction◆ ①06:59 The correct reading of "Daimaru Kobe Store" is "Daimaru Kobe Mise," not "Daimaru Kobe Ten." ◆About the nickname "Hitachi no Tetsuto"◆ It comes from the well-known "Inaba no Shirousagi."
