HistoryEdit
Construction of the line began in 1994 but was interrupted by the Great Hanshin earthquake which hit Kobe in 1995.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite magazine</ref> Despite the cross section of the tunnels being smaller compared to a conventional subway tunnel, there was still a substantial amount of construction happening at surface level.<ref name=":0" />
After being scheduled for a 1999 opening, revenue service began in 2001.<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Since opening, ridership numbers have stagnated. The projected ridership within 2001 was estimated to be 80,000 boardings, the actual boardings recorded were just over 34,000 in that year.<ref name=":1" /> The goal of 50,000 boardings by 2020 was also not achieved. As a result, the line has accumulated a deficit of over Template:Yen over 20 years of operation as of 2021.<ref name=":1" />
