This is a table we compared. In terms of maintenance and operation expenses and equipment renewal expenses as well, C route is lower cost than A and B routes.


Although the C route has resulted in superiority in all aspects such as time required, construction cost and maintenance cost, what kind of route will ultimately become? Considering that it will take huge years to open from Tokyo to Osaka, I would like you to realize it sooner.
