Japanese authorities seeking to reduce the carbon footprint and overcrowding at Mount Fuji will propose a trackless, rubber-tyred tram system made by China's CRRC to transport climbers, a person with direct knowledge of the plan said.
Yamanashi Prefecture, home of the most popular route used by climbers of the 3,776-metre volcano, is set to announce the plan soon, the person told Reuters, asking for anonymity because the information is not yet public. Pollution from the constant stream of tourist buses and cars arriving at the fifth station, as well as overcrowding on the trails, have become headaches for authorities seeking to clean up the site, which Japanese people hold sacred.
Shanghai-listed CRRC’s “Autonomous Rapid Transit” is a new-generation tram that uses magnetic road markings and can be operated unmanned.
