The Tokyo Metro 5000 series (東京地下鉄5000系, Tōkyō Chikatetsu 5000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type first built 1964, which currently operates as 3-car sets on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line branchline in Tokyo, Japan. 10-car sets were used on the Tokyo Metro Tōzai Line until March 2007. Some sets have also been shipped to Indonesia, where they operate on the Kereta Commuter Indonesia system in Jakarta.

Chiyoda Line 3-car sets

Until 30 May 2014, two three-cars sets were in operation, sets 61 and 62. These two aluminium-bodied sets were used on the Chiyoda Line branch between Ayase and Kita-Ayase, and were formed as shown below.[1]

Car No. 1 2 3
Designation CT M1 CM2
Numbering 5900 5400 5100

Cars 2 and 3 were each fitted with one single-arm pantograph.[1]

Tozai Line 10-car sets

Ten-car 5000 series sets operated on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line from December 1964 until March 2007. They were also used on the JR Chuo-Sobu Line between Nakano Station and Mitaka Station, between Nishi-Funabashi Station and Tsudanuma Station (weekday mornings and evenings only), and on the Tōyō Rapid Line between Nishi-Funabashi Station and Tōyō-Katsutadai Station.

Later sets had aluminium bodies.

Toyo Rapid Railway

Ten former Tozai Line sets were converted in 1995 to Tōyō Rapid 1000 series EMUs for use on the Tōyō Rapid Railway extension of the Tozai Line.

Indonesia

Three former Tozai Line ten-car sets (5809, 5816, and 5817) were shipped to Indonesia in 2007, entering service with KRL Jabodetabek (now Kereta Commuter Indonesia) in the Jakarta area from January 2007.[2]

The three sets were each reduced to eight-car formations on arrival in Indonesia.[2] Set 5816 was withdrawn in September 2014.[2]

Of the two remaining sets, set 5817 was lengthened to ten cars in July 2017 with the addition of two intermediate cars from former Toyo Rapid 1000 series set 1091.[2]
