Tokyo Metro, whose business performance has deteriorated due to the effects of the new coronavirus, has postponed the expansion of low-priority homes and the renewal of vehicles, and has made capital investment for three years until the new fiscal year 70 billion from the original plan. Clarified the policy to reduce the yen.
Tokyo Metro President Akiyoshi Yamamura announced the business policy for the new fiscal year at a press conference on the 25th.
According to this, since January, when the declaration of emergency was issued for the second time, it dropped to about half of last year on days when there were few subway users, and exceeded 30% even after the declaration was lifted on 21st of this month. It means that the number is decreasing.
In response to the financial deterioration, Tokyo Metro will reduce the amount of capital investment to be made in the three years up to the new fiscal year from the originally planned 490 billion yen to 420 billion yen by 70 billion yen.
This means that we will postpone the expansion of low-priority platform screen doors and vehicle updates, and focus on the installation of platform doors related to safety and disaster countermeasures.
In addition, Tokyo Metro has announced that it will continue to reduce bonuses for executives and managers and curb the hiring of new graduates.
On the other hand, in the fall, we would like to offer a trial service that allows unlimited rides on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays for 2000 yen a month to encourage use other than commuting.
At the press conference, President Yamamura said, "Even if it becomes a post-corona, teleworking will permeate, and we will become a society where you can choose the place and time to work from now, and the demand of customers will decrease. I want to recover the reduced part. "
