jr

JR is the collective name for the JR Group, which operates a major railway network throughout Japan. Currently, in order to improve work efficiency, JR companies are introducing communication apps that use smartphones as walkie-talkies, and expectations are rising that they will reduce the burden on the field. Additionally, the issue of rebuilding JR Hokkaido's loss-making routes is also attracting attention. The JR Group was created through the privatization of the former Japanese National Railways, and has become an important pillar of Japan's transportation infrastructure.
