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:
“He does smile his face into more lines than is in the new map with the augmentation of the Indies.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I struck the board, and cried, “No more.
I will abroad.”
What? Shall I ever sigh and pine?
My lines and life are free; free as the road,
Loose as the wind, as large as store.
Shall I be still in suit?”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
“We joined long wagon trains moving south; we met hundreds of wagons going north; the roads east and west were crawling lines of families traveling under canvas, looking for work, for another foothold somewhere on the land.... The country was ruined, the whole world was ruined; nothing like this had ever happened before. There was no hope, but everyone felt the courage of despair.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
