- Private Railways 3.0
I had lunch with Akinori Higashiuura, an executive officer at Tokyu Corporation, who recently published *Private Railways 3.0*.
“A future where you can make a profit even without riding the trains—that’s Private Railways 3.0!”
When he explained the book’s contents to me in 30 seconds,
it turns out the idea is to implement the “Estonian Model” along the Tokyu Line, which serves a population of 5 million.
It certainly piques your curiosity, doesn’t it?
He even signed a copy for me♪
I’m really looking forward to reading it.
You can purchase it *here*♪
