This announcement was made based on the fact that the Kyoto Municipal Transportation Bureau has been paying the track line-usage fee of 5.5 billion yen per year as a financial resource for repayment of the construction cost, but a high interest rate was set for the first loan and company expenses such as labor cost began to pile up; these are becoming factors in the subway's worsening business condition.
これは、京都市交通局が京都高速鉄道に建設費返済の財源として、年間55億円の線路使用料を支払っているが当初の借入金が高金利であること、人件費など会社の経費もかさむことなどが、地下鉄の経営悪化の要因となっているためである。
