Extension Plans
Various extensions of Line 1 have been proposed—notably a five-station, 3.4-km extension of the line from Kenchō-mae Station to Chiba Municipal Aoba Hospital. However, in 2004 an evaluation committee found that there was no need for the extension, and on the contrary, proposed terminating service on the underused segment from Chiba Station to Kencho-mae Station. An alternative 2-km extension to Chiba University is currently under consideration.

“‘Tis the perception of the beautiful,
A fine extension of the faculties,
Platonic, universal, wonderful,
Drawn from the stars, and filtered through the skies,
Without which life would be extremely dull.”
