Japan Train Running for Just One Passenger

Japan Train Running for Just One Passenger:It is unusual that government authorities are in a position to consider the emotional factor in a situation and provide to that. But, Japan Railways has acted differently. A train runs on a particular route only to ensure that a girl can go to school.In’t that great? The train makes only two stops-one when a lone high-school student leaves for school and other when she returns.

For years, there is only been one passenger waiting at the Kami-Shirataki Train station in the northernmost island of Hokkaido, Japan: A high school girl, on her way to class. The train stops there only twice-once to pick up the girl and again to drop her off after the school day is over.

It all started three years ago, when Japan Railways decided to shut down its services in the remote location, a ridership had noticeably fallen. That is until they noticed a young girl still using it to get to school. When the company learned of their only passenger, they decided to keep the station running until she graduates. They even went the extra mile and re-scheduled the train’s timetable according to the girl’s schedule, according to CCTV News. The unnamed girl is expected to graduate this March, which is when the station will finally be closed.

People are tipping their hats to the Japanese government for making education a top priority.”Why should I not want to die for a country like this when the government is ready to go an extra miles just for me”, one commenter wrote on CCTV’s Facebook page.”This is the meaning of good governance penetrating right to the popular level. Every citizen matters. No Child left behind.”

With this story of a young and her special connection to the Kami-Shirataki station, Japan’s rural rail roads always will be remembered for their service.
