The was an automated people mover used in Narita International Airport, Narita, Chiba Japan. This system started its operation on December 6, 1992. Narita International Airport, the international airport of the Greater Tokyo Area, opened the current Terminal 2 in 1992, as well as the shuttle system. The shuttle linked the main building of the terminal and its satellite, 279 metres away. The whole ride took a minute, and is free of charge. The system was made by Nippon Otis Elevator, a company specialised in elevators and escalators. It was technically (and legally) not a railway, but a horizontal elevator; cars were attached to a cable that moves them, like a funicular. These cars did not have wheels; instead, they float on a 0.2-millimetre layer of pressured air. This was the first use of such a system to be used in an airport, as well as the first in Japan. A new walkway between the main and satellite buildings had opened on September 27, 2013, following which the people mover had ceased operations〔http://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXNASDG2004H_Q3A920C1CC1000/〕 ==See also== *List of airport people mover systems *People mover *Dorfbahn Serfaus *Hovertrain *Tracked Hovercraft *Aérotrain 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Narita Airport Terminal 2 Shuttle System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
