The organization operates subways and buses. It was founded in 1922, as an operator of Nagoya City Tram bought from Nagoya Electric Railroad, the current Nagoya Railroad. The bureau plans to introduce a smart card ticketing system from 2010, replacing the current Tranpass (Yurica), which is based on the magnetic stripe card technology.
