Symbolic Stations that Harmonize with Surrounding Communities

JRTT uses public comment system to collect opinions directly from local communities as to what kind of station they like and works together with local communities to create those stations, which represent their identity, reflect the local scenery, natural feature and culture, thus serve as regional symbol and landmarks.
