« Rinkai-sen, is an automated guideway transit service operated by Yurikamome, Inc., connecting Shimbashi to Toyosu, via the artificial island of Odaiba in Tokyo, Japan, a market in which it competes with the Rinkai Line. The line is named after the black-headed gull yurikamome in Japanese, a common denizen of Tokyo Bay and the official prefectural bird. The Yurikamome is Tokyo`s first fully automated transit system, controlled entirely by computers with no drivers on board. However, the line is not the first in Japan, as Kobe`s Port Liner opened in 1981, 14 years before the Yurikamome.
The Yurikamome is sometimes mistakenly called a monorail, but the trains run with rubber-tired wheels on elevated concrete track guided by the side walls.
