Shinkansen with 0% occupancy rate is the first day of stay home New Corona April 25 11:59
On the 25th, when "Stay Home Week" began to call for refraining from going out in preparation for large holidays, the occupancy rate of unreserved seats on each JR Shinkansen line was low at 10% or less. Some trains have a boarding rate of 0%.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government positions the period from the 25th to the 6th of the next month, which is the end of the long holiday, as "stay home week" and calls on the residents to refrain from going out.
According to the JR, the free seat occupancy rate on the Tokaido Shinkansen as of 10:00 am is less than 10% for both up and down, and the free seat occupancy rate for each of the Tohoku, Yamagata, Joetsu, and Hokuriku Shinkansen lines is less than 8%. It's getting low.
Of these, the "Tsubasa No. 129" bound for Yamagata had a passenger rate of 0% at the time when it left Tokyo Station at 8:56 am, with no passengers confirmed in the free seats.
According to JR, there are few reservations for reserved seats on the Shinkansen, and seats are available from 25th to 6th May, which is the end of the large holidays.
