TOKYO: Railway companies are using lessons learned from a decline in passenger numbers during the Covid-19 pandemic to dream up ways to get more people to ride Shinkansen bullet trains.
Central Japan Railway Co (JR Tokai) allows passengers to charter a train car for various purposes such as having a wedding ceremony, while East Japan Railway Co (JR East) runs a train car in which people are allowed to talk on the phone and have online meetings while they work and study.
