Efforts to alleviate railway congestion for the Tokyo Olympics At Kasumigaseki Station, a 22% decrease September 29, 12:05
To alleviate the congestion of the railway during the next Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games next year, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and companies worked together in July to concentrate on time shifts and telework. It was found that the number of users during the peak hour decreased by approximately 22% compared to the same day of the week a year ago.
In preparation for next year's Tokyo tournament, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government worked together with companies this summer to work on alleviating the congestion of railways through time-shifted work that avoids busy hours and telework that works away from normal workplaces.
Of these, preliminary figures for the number of users surveyed at major stations in Tokyo on July 24, when the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, central government offices, companies, etc. concentrated on time offset work and telework were compiled.
According to it, the number of users in the 8am range was about 3% lower than that of the same day one year ago on average for 75 stations such as JR and subway.
The largest decline in users was at Kasumigaseki Station at approximately 22%, followed by Hamamatsucho Station and Tochomae Station at 12%.
During the next year's Tokyo Games, the number of rail users in the Tokyo metropolitan area is expected to increase by about 10%, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Organizing Committee are working on more people than this summer in the tournament. I want to get it.
