The Toei 6500 series (都営6500形, Toei 6500-gata) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei) in Japan.
Interior
The trains use SiC–VVVF technology, and are formed as eight-car sets.[3] The interior includes multilingual passenger information displays and security cameras.[4]
The design of the trains revolved around the concept of universal design.[5] This is represented in various features of the trains:
- An open space inside the cars to accommodate passengers with heavy luggage or mobility aids such as wheelchairs
- Widening the space near the doors to facilitate boarding and deboarding at platforms especially during busy times
- Increasing the number of hand straps, handrails, and luggage racks above the seating area
The trains are also fitted with onboard Wi-Fi. In addition, these will be the first trainsets to be equipped with onboard data collection.[5][clarification needed]
