Maglev automated people mover in Nagoya, Japan

Linimo (リニモ), formally the Aichi Rapid Transit Tobu Kyuryo Line (愛知高速交通東部丘陵線) is a magnetic levitation train line in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, near the city of Nagoya. While primarily built to serve the Expo 2005 fair site, the line has since operated to serve the local community. Linimo is owned and operated by the Aichi Rapid Transit Company, Ltd. (愛知高速交通株式会社) and is the first commercial maglev in Japan to use the High Speed Surface Transport (HSST) type technology. It is also the world's first uncrewed commercial urban maglev. Linimo was the fourth overall commercial urban maglev operated in the world, predated by the Birmingham Maglev (1984–1995), the Berlin M Bahn (1989–1991) and the Shanghai Maglev (opened in 2004).

The linear motor magnetic levitated train has a top speed of , floating above the track when in motion, and is intended as an alternative to conventional metro systems, not high speed operation. The line has nine stations and is long, with a minimum operating radius of and a maximum gradient of 6%. The line uses automatic train control (ATC) and automatic train operation (ATO). The construction cost came to roughly $65 million per km without rolling stock.

The trains for the line were designed by the Chubu HSST Development Corporation, which also operated a test track in Nagoya. Car No.123DesignationMc1MMc2Numbering1x11x21x3

Being the first commercial implementation of a new type of transport system, the line suffered a number of highly publicized technical breakdowns during the Expo, with far higher demand during peak hours than the line's carrying capacity of 4,000 passengers per direction per hour. On March 19, 2005 and again on March 24, the number of people inside the trains exceeded the design capacity of 244 passengers and the train was unable to levitate. The line also has to be shut down for safety reasons when wind speed exceeds , a relatively common occurrence in the area. During the Expo, the line carried an average of 31,000 passengers per day, but ridership dropped to only 12,000 in the first six months after the Expo, and the line lost over ¥3 billion in 2006. While ridership gradually increased to 16,500 passengers per day in 2008, the line still made a financial loss of ¥2.1 billion in fiscal year 2009. In 2016, the line started turning a profit, making a net profit of ¥83.4 million that year.

In 2006, there was a plan to use the system for the Xinyi LRT, a proposed line in Xinyi, Taipei, Taiwan. The line was cancelled in 2007.
