Sapporo Municipal Subway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sapporo Municipal Subway (札幌市営地下鉄 Sapporo-shiei chikatetsu?) is the rapid transit system in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. It is operated by the Sapporo City Transportation Bureau. [1] [2]
The subway trains are guided by a central rail with rubber tires on two narrow steel rollways. [3] It has 3 lines, and the first one was opened 1971, just before the 1972 Winter Olympics.
The lines will introduce a smart card called SAPICA from 2009.
