The Tokyo Metro 02 series (東京地下鉄02系 Tōkyō Chikatetsu 02-kei?) is an electric multiple unit type operated by Tokyo Metro on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line in Tokyo, Japan. Its design is based on the Tokyo Metro 01 series.

A total of 336 cars were introduced into service from 17 October 1988. 53 six-car trainsets operate on the main section of the Marunouchi Line, while the Hōnanchō branch uses six three-car trainsets.

The trains have been equipped with a Train Automatic Stopping Controller (TASC) system allowing them to stop automatically at stations since November 2002. Since 2010, the 02 series has been retrofitted with ATO for driverless operation on the Marunouchi main line (with driver on standby for opening/closing doors and driving trains in manual mode if necessary); the Hōnanchō branch line continues to use TASC.

Interior


Refurbishment

The 02 series fleet is scheduled to undergo major refurbishment, with the first treated trains returning to service from February 2010. Refurbishment includes the use of new PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motors), as fitted to the new Chiyoda Line 16000 series trains, offering energy savings of approximately 10%. Internally, pairs of 17-inch LCD passenger information monitors are installed above the passenger doors. The interior is finished in a pale salmon pink colour reminiscent of the original 300 series trains used on the line, and externally, a white "sine wave" design has been added to the red bodyside stripes, again reminiscent of the 300 series livery.[1] The refurbishment is expected to be completed by March 2014.
