The Kumamoto Electric Railway (熊本電気鉄道 Kumamoto Denki Tetsudō?) is the public transport company in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. It is abbreviated as Kumamoto Dentetsu (熊本電鉄?) or Kumaden (熊電?). The company was founded in 1909. The company operates railway and bus lines. Its railway lines are also called Kikuchi Electric Railway (菊池電車 Kikuchi Densha?) among locals, from the former name of the company before 1948.
