Operations[]

The fleet of six 6-car 2000 series trains are based at Meinohama depot and are used alongside the Fukuoka Subway 1000 series on the Hakozaki Line and Kūkō Line subway lines, and also through-running services to and from the Chikuhi Line owned by Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu).[1]

The trains have stainless steel bodies.[1] Each car is 20 m (65 ft 7 in) long with four pairs of doors on each side, air conditioning, and space to accommodate wheelchairs. The longitudinal seats are covered with a green moquette.
