独自長文1｜工事期間中の鉄道路線変更

The East Line will undergo track repairs from Monday, June 8, through Friday, June 12. During this period, trains will run only between Central Station and Pine Street. Passengers traveling beyond Pine Street must transfer to replacement buses, which will stop outside the station’s east exit. The first train from Central Station will leave at 6:20 a.m., ten minutes later than the usual 6:10 departure. The final train will leave at 11:10 p.m. The railway expects buses to take about twenty minutes longer than the normal train journey, although actual travel time may vary with traffic. Passengers who normally use the East Line monthly pass may continue using it on the replacement buses. No additional fare is required for the substitute service. However, the pass is not valid on the express coach operated by a separate company. The railway recommends allowing extra time and checking its service page before departure. The repair schedule is planned, but severe weather or unexpected work may cause further changes. A station announcement will identify any platform or bus-stop changes on the day.

独自長文2｜定期券と乗継割引の案内

The city transport office is introducing a new commuter pass for travel between North Park and City Hall. The monthly pass costs 9,600 yen and is valid for unlimited trips on the two specified bus routes during the calendar month printed on the card. It does not cover the airport shuttle or sightseeing buses. Passengers who buy the pass online by the 20th of the previous month can collect it at no extra charge from a selected station office. Those who purchase it after that date may still buy the pass, but collection is available only at the central transport office. The online purchase confirmation is not itself a travel pass; passengers must collect or activate the card. A single-journey ticket costs 280 yen each way. A commuter who makes two one-way journeys on each of twenty weekdays would pay 11,200 yen using single tickets. The monthly pass would cost 9,600 yen, a difference of 1,600 yen, provided all journeys are on the covered routes within the valid month. The transport office warns that the pass is personal and cannot be lent to another person. If a card is lost, the holder should contact the office promptly. Replacement conditions and fees depend on whether the card was registered.

独自長文3｜駅のバリアフリー設備と介助予約

Central Station is replacing two elevators as part of an accessibility project. During the work, the north entrance will remain open, but the elevator beside Platform 2 will be unavailable. Passengers who need step-free access should use the west entrance, where a temporary ramp and staff assistance desk are provided. Travelers who require help boarding a train are encouraged to request assistance at least one day before departure. Requests made on the day will be accepted when staff are available, but the station cannot guarantee immediate assistance during busy periods. The station has also introduced a text-message service for passengers who cannot easily hear platform announcements. To receive messages, travelers must register their mobile numbers online. Registration does not automatically reserve assistance or change a ticket. The elevator work is expected to take three weeks. The station will publish updates if the schedule changes. Passengers are advised to allow extra time, especially if they need to transfer between platforms. The temporary arrangement is intended to maintain access, but some routes through the station may be longer than usual.

独自長文4｜運休時の払い戻しと代替経路

The City Rail Company has announced that the final evening train on the Harbor Branch will not operate on Thursday because of scheduled electrical work. Earlier trains will run normally. Passengers who planned to use the final train may travel on a replacement bus leaving the station at 11:25 p.m. A passenger who has already purchased a single ticket for the canceled train may use it on the replacement bus without paying again. Passengers who prefer not to travel may request a refund at the station counter within seven days of the scheduled journey. The refund does not apply to a ticket that has already been used for the replacement service. The last regular train on the branch will leave at 10:50 p.m. The replacement bus takes approximately thirty-five minutes to reach Harbor Terminal, while the usual train journey takes twenty minutes. The bus may take longer if traffic is heavy. The company will not provide taxis automatically. Passengers who need accessible transport should contact the service desk before the evening of travel so staff can explain the available arrangements. The notice applies only to Thursday’s final service; it does not announce a permanent closure of the Harbor Branch.
