Tous les sieges du metro de Yokohama vont devenir sieges "prioritaires" pour les personnes agees, invalides ou femmes enceintes.
Actuellement seuls 6 sieges par wagon sont designes comme tels, mais la municipalite de Yokohama a decider de rendre tous les sieges prioritaires, dans le but de promouvoir/encourager le civisme des usagers du metro.

(Note: avez-vous remarque comme peu de japonais assis laissent leur place a des personnes debout, meme plus agees... ? )



Yokohama govt to make all subway seats 'priority seats'


The Yokohama municipal government will make all seating on its subway line carriages priority seats for elderly and disabled passengers from December.

Hankyu Corp., an Osaka-based railway operator, made all seating on its trains priority seats in April 1999, but Yokohama's decision represents the first time such a step has been taken by an operator in eastern Japan. The most modern carriages on the municipal-run subway lines currently have six seats designated as priority seating.

By making all seating priority seats, the city government hopes to create a mode of transport in which all riders can travel comfortably and give passenger numbers a shot in the arm. Signs detailing the move to make all seating priority seats will be displayed inside and outside the trains.

Furthermore, from the beginning of December until the end of January, celebrities and well-known artists associated with Yokohama, including actor Tetsuya Watari, singer-songwriter Kazumasa Oda and the duet Yuzu, will feature in onboard announcements calling on passengers to vacate their seats for elderly and disabled passengers.

The 40.4-kilometer city-operated subway line, which runs between Shonandai and Azamino stations, has been running in the red since it began operating in 1972.

An advisory body to the city mayor, chaired by East Japan Railway Co. Chairman Masashi Matsuda, put forward in a report submitted in September recommendations such as greater use of one-person-operated trains and employing people dispatched from employment agencies to reduce operational costs and boost passenger numbers.
