Fukuoka subway map
One of the urban transport systems that operates in the city of Fukuoka is the subway. It was opened in 1981 and since then the Fukuoka subway has developed and expanded several times. Today there are three lines in the city, the total length of which is almost 30 kilometers. In total, 35 stations are open on the routes for the needs of passengers, and each line of the Fukuoka metro is marked on the diagram with its own color. Every year, the subway in this city carries at least 130 million people..
The history of the construction of the Fukuoka metro began in the 70s of the twentieth century, when the tram network was abolished in the city. To replace it with a more modern mode of transport, in 1973 it was decided to start building a subway. Two years later, the project began to be implemented, and after another six years, the first passengers descended into the Fukuoka subway.
The line that was the first to open in the Fukuoka subway is marked orange on public transport schemes. It stretches from the western suburbs of Meinohama to Fukuokakuko Airport in the eastern suburbs.. «Orange» the branch is called Kuko, and its length is 13 kilometers. The route offers 13 stations.
The second line in the Fukuoka subway - «blue». It begins in the north of the city from Kaizuka Station and flows in the center into «orange» branch. Mashrut 2 is called Hakozaki. Its length is small - only 4.7 kilometers. At the northernmost point, the Kaizuka Line allows for transfers to suburban and intercity railways.
Line 3, marked in green on the diagram, was commissioned last in 2005. It is called Nanakuma and its length reaches 12 kilometers. 16 stations are open on the branch. «Green» the route starts at Tenjin-Minami Station in the city center and goes southwest.
