Development history

predecessor

The predecessor of Tokyo Metro Company was the Imperial Capital High-speed Traffic Camp (also known as the Metro Camp) established in 194 1 year according to the Imperial Capital High-speed Traffic Camp Law; The battle route is commonly known as the camp line). Prior to this, two underground railway lines were originally built and operated by the first two companies, Tokyo Underground Railway and Tokyo High-speed Railway. After that, the government came forward to integrate, first operated each other through the routes of both parties, and finally merged the two companies through the acquisition of shares, and cooperated with Tokyo and other private railway operators at that time to jointly invest, forming a special transportation legal person-"camp".

Post-war period

The newly established Tokyo Metropolitan Government intends to abolish the battalion and take over the subway in an all-round way. However, at that time, the Ministry of Transport (now the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) thought that Tuantuan subway was a highly public utility funded by the state and needed for post-war revival, so it should exist. On April 1 2004, in response to the reform of administrative organization, it was formally incorporated (by the government and Tokyo * * *) and renamed as its current name (the business line was renamed accordingly), with the goal of realizing complete privatization in 2007.
