The Nagoya Municipal Subway (名古屋市営地下鉄, Nagoya Shiei Chikatetsu), also referred to as simply the Nagoya Subway,[3] is a rapid transit system serving Nagoya, the capital of Aichi Prefecture in Japan. It consists of six lines that cover 93.3 kilometers (58.0 mi) of route and serve 87 stations.[1] Approximately 90% of the subway's total track length is underground.
The subway system is owned and operated by the Nagoya City Transportation Bureau and, like other large Japanese cities including Tokyo and Osaka, is heavily complemented by suburban rail, together forming an extensive network of 47 lines in and around Greater Nagoya. Of them, the subway lines represent 38% of Greater Nagoya's total rail ridership of 3 million passengers a day.[4]
In 2002, the system introduced Hatchii as its official mascot.
