Fukuoka’s Nanakuma subway line will add four weekday morning services in each direction from Nov. 24. The revised timetable adds one service each way during the 7 a.m. hour, two during the 8 a.m. hour and one during the 9 a.m. hour. Mayor Soichiro Takashima said the change would increase morning carrying capacity by about 2,000 passengers. Crowding has become a concern as passenger numbers have grown since the extension to Hakata Station. The city also plans to introduce six-car trains in fiscal 2030. Source: FBS News / KBC News
