The Sendai Subway (仙台市地下鉄 Sendai-shi Chikatetsu) consists of a single line, the Nanboku Line, which opened in 1987. Construction of a second line, the Tōzai Line, began in 2004 with a planned opening date of 2015. The Sendai City Transportation Bureau operates the existing line and oversees the construction of the new line.
Fares depend on distance travelled and currently[when?] range from 200 yen to 350 yen for adults [1][dead link].
The subway was damaged in the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and shut down. It reopened on 29 April 2011.[1]
