Japan Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (756 words) |
 | Japan Railway, more commonly called JR, is a collective term for the privatized successors to the former Japanese National Railways, formed when JNR was divided into seven parts on April 1, 1987. |
 | There are six passenger companies: the East Japan, West Japan, and Central Japan railway companies, which operate in Honshu, and the Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido railroad companies, which operate on the islands for which the companies were named. |
 | The growth in passenger transport of private railroads in 1987 was 2.6 percent, which meant that the Japan Railways Group's rate of increase was above that of the private sector railroads for the first time since 1974. |
