"Safety" is firstly pursued in railway industry. The number of passengers of trains seems to have been decreasing due to less traveling because of declining birthrates and recession and less business trips because of spread of TV telephone conferences. Therefore, each company is focusing on diversification such as tourism, shops inside the station building (so-called "Eki-naka"), and services at other places rather than increasing the rate of passenger. Some companies focus on the speed (Shinkansen/linear motor train), the safety (impediment removal/platform screen doors), and the convenience (new opening of Shinkansen). Each company has been striving for services to improve customer satisfaction upon the foundation of "safety".
They are required to be as precise as possible to follow rules such as time, speed, and signals. They are also required to act consciously what to do to prevent from the risks that may arise by assuming them. Also, they have to be prepared to respond properly in case of trouble should occur.
Since the number of passengers has been decreasing due to decreasing birthrate and aging, devices for profit are required in the entire railway industry. There are further enhancing safety and congestion reducing measures and improvement of customer satisfaction for examples. It is also important to strengthen teamworks and risk managements in order to respond quickly and properly in case of accidents or disasters.
Where many people with wide differences in ages work with cooperation, it is the issue to inherit specific technologies as well as general techniques. In particular, veterans' educating abilities toward the young understanding the differences between the generations (how they have the young learn, how to lead them) are strongly demanded.
