Lines
At present, the company operates only one LRT, the Interurban Shizuoka-Shimizu Line, which runs for 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from Shin-Shizuoka Station to Shin-Shimizu Station with 13 intermediate stops, and one ropeway, the Nihondaira Ropeway. Its extensive highway bus system was spun off to a subsidiary company, Shizutetsu Justline in 2002.
Defunct LRT lines include:
- Shizuoka City Line (静岡市内線, Shizuoka shinai-sen?), 1922-1962.
- Shimizu City Line (清水市内線, Shimizu shinai-sen?), 1928-1975.
- Sun-en Line (駿遠線, Sun-en-sen?), 1911-1970.
- Akiba Line (秋葉線, Akiba-sen?), 1902-1962.

Famous quotes containing the word lines:
“We stand in the tumult of a festival.
What festival? This loud, disordered mooch?
These hospitaliers? These brute-like guests?
These musicians dubbing at a tragedy,
A-dub, a-dub, which is made up of this:
That there are no lines to speak? There is no play.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Every living language, like the perspiring bodies of living creatures, is in perpetual motion and alteration; some words go off, and become obsolete; others are taken in, and by degrees grow into common use; or the same word is inverted to a new sense or notion, which in tract of time makes an observable change in the air and features of a language, as age makes in the lines and mien of a face.”
—Richard Bentley (1662–1742)
“While you are divided from us by geographical lines, which are imaginary, and by a language which is not the same, you have not come to an alien people or land. In the realm of the heart, in the domain of the mind, there are no geographical lines dividing the nations.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
