The Fukuoka Subway 2000 series (福岡市交通局2000系) is an electric multiple unit operated by Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau on the Hakozaki Line and Kūkō Line in Fukuoka, Japan.[1]

History

The 2000 series was introduced in 1992 ahead of the opening of the Line between Fukuoka Airport and Hakata Station on March 3, 1993. Because of the increasing traffic, the train is used together with the Fukuoka Subway 1000 series on the Kūko Line, the Hakozaki Line, and also Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyūshū) lines. 12 years after the introduction of the 1000 series, the new trains have improved comfort, energy conservation and cheaper maintenance. The trains have since been overhauled four times with only minor changes.

The trains were manufactured by Kinki Sharyo in 1992, by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in 1994 and 1997, and by Nippon Sharyo in 1998.

Design

Interior view

The trains have stainless steel bodies. The first trains were painted with blue stripes, but from 1994 a combination of white and blue stripes was used. Each car is 20 m long with four pairs of doors on each side. The longitudinal seats are covered with a green moquette. The opening of the doors is signaled by a display system and wheelchair spaces have been built-in. LED displays show the next stops and the current position of the train. The cars are all air-conditioned.
