Tokyo Metro
The Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd. (東京地下鉄株式会社 Tokyo Chikatetsu Kabushiki Kaisha) is one of the two operators of Tokyo's metro system. It is a private company jointly owned by the Japanese government and the Tokyo metropolitan government.
It replaced the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (帝都高速度交通営団 Teito Kōsokudo Kōtsū Eidan, abbreviated Eidan or TRTA) on April 1, 2004. TRTA was administered by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, and jointly funded by the national and metropolitan governments. It was formed in 1941, although its oldest lines date back to 1927.
The other metro operator in Tokyo is the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation, which operates the Toei system.
