コロナで大ピンチのJR西日本が赤字路線を徹底的に廃線にしたらどうなる？

The effects of the coronavirus pandemic have dealt a major blow to railway companies. JR West has the weakest financial base of the three Honshu railway companies and operates many unprofitable lines, making the impact immeasurable. The president of JR West has made bold statements about reviewing unprofitable lines, making the closure of many lines a reality. This video introduces JR West's unprofitable lines, ranking them by traffic density and operating ratio. It also features a virtual map showing what would happen if a line were closed at each traffic density level: under 200, under 1,000, and under 2,000. ■■■Activities■■■ October 2021 We held an online meeting with the town of Yoichi in Hokkaido regarding the parallel conventional line issue, and held a dialogue with the town's mayor. This initiative was featured in the following media outlets. ・Asahi Shimbun (published December 8, 2021) ・Hokkaido Shimbun (published December 3, 2021) September 22, 2022 Published "Railway Companies: Data Warns of the Future" by Kawade Shobo Shinsha https://amzn.to/3Df2qEg As an Amazon Associate, the Tetsubozu Channel earns income from qualifying sales. October 15, 2022 I participated as a speaker in the symposium "Is There a Way to Fix the Izumo Sakane Switchback?" ■■■Side Note■■■ Origin of the Channel Name The host is a bald man in his 50s who loves trains, so we call him Tetsubozu. (Like Master All Kyo◯.) The reason we use the old-style character for "鐵" (railway) is because it's influenced by the Kominato Railway and the Oigawa Railway, and it just looks cool. ■■■Contact Information■■■ For collaboration and project inquiries, please contact us here.
