Atarashima Rapid Transit System

Atarashima Rapid Transit System (ARTS) is the rapid transit metro and tram system in Atarashima. The ARTS began operating in 1980 as an increase in public transportation demand grew. The network has since grown rapidly in accordance with Atarashima's aim of developing a comprehensive rail network as the backbone of the public transport system in Atarashima.

The ARTS network has 182 stations with 195.9 km of lines in operation, on standard gauge. The rapid transit system is accompanied by a tram line in Higashikaigan which connects between Tri City ARTS Station and Kagyoma Park ARTS Station. Services operate from about 5 am and usually end before 2 am. There are daily intervals of approximately two to eight minutes, and services extended during festive periods such as Chinese New Year.

Lines and stations
There are a total of 14 lines (Bay Line, Port Line, Village Line, Harbour Line, Yukeo Line, Downtown Line, Shimizu Line, Hills Line, Peninsula Link, Cross City Link, Tri City Line, Kagyoma Metro and Airport Express. They are responsible for the day-to-day operations of 182 stations. ARTS stations include: station, terminus station, and interchange station.

Ticketing
ARTS currently utilises the TransCard ticketing system which is a contactless smartcard ticketing system which is used in all networks owned by TransAta in Atarashima.

Facilities and services
The entirety of the ARTS is elevated or underground. Most below-ground stations are deep and hardened enough to withstand conventional aerial bomb attacks and to serve as bomb shelters. Mobile phone service is available in and between all stations on the entire ARTS network with the exclusion of the Hills Line. All the stations and the train themselves are fully air-conditioned.

All stations have been designed or renovated to have accessibility facilities, such as lifts, ramps, tactile guidance systems (Braille tactiles on the floor surface), wider fare gates, or toilets for passengers with disabilities.
