LRT opens six months today; promotion of wider use is an issue in Tochigi. On the 26th, it has been six months since the nation's first LRT (next-generation streetcar), which had all new tracks, opened in Utsunomiya and other cities.
The challenge is to encourage use not only by local residents but also by a wider range of residents. According to Utsinomiya City and other sources, the number of users on weekdays is about 12,000 to 13,000, as originally expected.
