History

The 10000 series was introduced when Line 4, commonly known as Green Line, was opened. Each carriage is smaller than ordinary train to reduce costs of construction. Each unit was intially formed of four coaches, but Yokohama City Transportation Bureau rearranged 10 out of 17 units to be formed of six coaches as ridership increased even after COVID-19 pandemic.


Current Operations & Future Prospects

All units run Green Line. Unlike Blue Line trains, the 10000 series trains are somehow very dirty at all times and thus look brown.
