The Osaka Municipal Subway 70 series (大阪市交通局70系) is a rapid transit electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Osaka Municipal Subway on the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line in Japan.[1]

The 70 series was among the earliest trains in Japan to use linear motors, and is capable of driverless operation.

Refurbishment

All 25 70 series trains are scheduled to undergo major refurbishment, with set 13 the first refurbished set to re-enter service on March 4, 2011.[citation needed] The refurbishment will include the fitting of new linear motor traction systems, a new 3-colour LED display system above passenger doors, new LCD passenger information monitors, lower hand grips, a yellow line printed on passenger doors and new train car number indicators on the exterior similar to those seen on the 30000 series and the refurbished 25 series trains.
