Tōkyō Metro to launch new rendition of manner poster series
In an effort to encourage proper etiquette among passengers and ensure a comfortable experience on the subway, Tōkyō Metro (HQ: Taitō Ward, Tōkyō; President: Umezaki Hisashi) and the Metro Cultural Foundation (Chairman: Tsuchisaka Yasutoshi) have displayed manner posters since 1974, and in FY2010, we will continue this program with the new catchphrase, “Please do it again.”
In the “Please do it at home” campaign during FY2008 and FY2009, we focused on behavior and activities that are inappropriate in public spaces, and in addition to receiving compliments from our passengers, have succeeded in raising awareness of proper passenger etiquette.
In FY2010, with the catchprase, “Please do it again,” we will feature cartoons of thoughtful acts that allow passengers to enjoy use of the subway, encouraging passenger etiquette anywhere and anytime.
We will distribute the monthly-rotation manner posters at each station for a one-year period from April 2010 to March 2011. The theme for April is giving up seats to passengers who need them.
Tōkyō Metro will continue to encourage passenger etiquette and ensure a pleasant experience riding the subway.
