Osaka Municipal Subway 30000 series


The Osaka Municipal Subway/Osaka Metro 30000 series is a rapid transit electric multiple unit train type operated by Osaka Municipal Subway in Japan since 2009.

Design

Thirteen six-car sets were built based on the New 20 series design to replace the older 30 series sets on the Tanimachi Line.
A total of 12 ten-car 30000 series sets are also on order for use on the Midōsuji Line, with the first set entering service on 10 December 2011, replacing the older 10 series sets. These 30000 series sets were the final new subway rolling stock to be ordered by the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau before it was privatised in 2018.
