A poster informing you of "removal of trash can" posted at the station
Tokyo Metro, an important transportation network in the city center, will remove all the trash cans inside the station on January 16th.Tokyo Metro has installed a trash can with transparent panels that can be seen inside in 2005 due to the influence of terrorism overseas.However, this time, he decided to remove trash cans from the "security enhancement perspective".When the removal was revealed, various questions and criticism erupted on the Internet."I just need to say that it should be said to be a straightforward cost." "It costs only cost, but I don't think it will be necessary to think about the user."It is probably the result of supplementing.It will also be cut off, and it seems better to raise the price like Tokyu. "In addition to these questions," Is it really because of security? "Is it possible to throw it away? ""It's good to eliminate the trash can, but what should I do with garbage after buying at a stall or vending machine?》 《《も も も も も も も も も も も も も も も も も も も も もNewspapers are in trouble without throwing them away.It's hard to bring it home to the station lunch that you've finished eating.Is it too inconsistent to remove the trash can, even though they sell goods and benefit from passengers?In this way, many people have pointed out the "contradiction" of Tokyo Metro with convenience stores and dealers in the station premises.How does Tokyo Metro answer to these users' voices?We interviewed the company's public relations.――In the removal of the trash can, there are voices saying, "I want you to say that you should say that you will be honestly reduced.""It is not that perspective, but it is removed to enhance security. At Otemachi Station, there have been things that seem to be suspicious, but there have been events that have been put in trash bin several times in the past, and 2021 at the station.The trash can have already been removed since November. We have not received any opinions, especially in that regard, and there were cases where suspicious items were abandoned outside Otemachi Station, so we removed them at all stations."-What is the suspicious thing?"For example, if there is something like white powder, it is not possible to judge it as safe, so it is necessary to respond accordingly. As a result, the powder is" sugar.Even if it is not a dangerous thing to understand, it means that something that seems to be such a suspicious thing is abandoned every day. " - Even if opinions are raised on the Internet, I intend to change the removal policy.Isn't it?"There is no particular, there is no prospect of reconciliation at the moment." - If what you purchased at the store in the station yard became garbage, how do you do it?"I'm very sorry, but basically we want you to understand and cooperate in the form of taking home. There is no plans to remove the recycling box next to the vending machine. There is no plans to remove the trash can in the toilet."Currently, there is no complaint in the removal of trash cans in Tokyo Metro.It may be a decision that can not be helped to protect a safe city.
