Map of Nagoya Municipal Subway
The Nagoya Municipal Subway (名古屋市営地下鉄 Nagoya Shiei Chikatetsu?) is a subway system in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan. The subway system covers 93.3 kilometers (58.0 mi) of route, serving 87 stations. Like other large Japanese cities, Greater Nagoya's subways are heavily complemented by suburban rail, forming an extensive network of 47 lines rivaling cities such as New York City and London (see Transport in Greater Nagoya). The Nagoya Municipal Subway represents 38% of Greater Nagoya's total rail ridership of 3 million passengers a day. It is operated by Transportation Bureau City of Nagoya. It has six lines, and approximately 90% of the total track length is underground. In 2002, the system introduced Hatchii as its official character.
Tickets can be purchased from ticket vending machines in stations. An integrated ticketing system, Tranpass, was initially available, which could also be used at all municipal subway stations and for other connected transportations systems such as Meitetsu lines. On February 11, 2011, a magnetic fare card called Manaca was introduced to replace Tranpass.
