Interior

All refurbished trains have a pink interior and some LCD passenger information screens above all doors.

History

The first trains entered service from 17 October 1988.

In March 1998, Automatic Train Control was introduced on the 02 series, which was supplemented with a Train Automatic Stopping Controller (TASC) system allowing them to stop automatically at stations since November 2002.

Refurbishment

The 02 series fleet went under major refurbishment, with the first treated trains returning to service from February 2010.[3] Refurbishment included the use of new Toshiba PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motors), as fitted to the new Chiyoda Line 16000 series trains, offering energy savings of approximately 10%.[4] Internally, pairs of 17-inch LCD passenger information monitors were installed above the passenger doors. The interior was finished in a pale salmon pink colour reminiscent of the original 300 series trains used on the line, and externally, a white "sine wave" design was added to the red bodyside stripes, again reminiscent of the 300 series livery.[5]

Withdrawal

A fleet of 53 new six-car trains was introduced in fiscal 2018 to replace the 02 series trains by fiscal 2023.[6] The new trains are classified as Tokyo Metro 2000 series.The first set to be retired, 02-148 (set 48), was removed for scrapping on October 17, 2018.[7]

As of 15 March 2024, 1 six-car set remains in service.[8]

Overseas use

Two 02 series cars were transferred to FEATI University in the Philippines for training use.[9]
