The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) has announced that Keisei Railway has submitted an application seeking approval to change the upper limit of its passenger fares ^[1]. The ministry's Railway Bureau, through its Railway Business Division's Passenger Transport Business Supervision Office, is now soliciting public comments on the proposal ^[1]. The notice was published on November 9, 2026, and comment submissions are being accepted starting at 14:00 that same day ^[1]. The comment window closes at 0:00 on November 24, 2026 ^[1]. The matter is filed under the land transport category and carries the case number 155260820 ^[1]. According to the notice, this is a voluntary public comment solicitation rather than one required under the Administrative Procedure Act ^[1]. The ministry has made available a comment solicitation guideline document, a comment submission form, and the application documents themselves, all in PDF format, for members of the public who wish to review the details or submit input ^[1]. The notice instructs anyone submitting a comment to first check the full comment solicitation guideline and the full text of the proposed measure before submitting, in order to avoid misdirected submissions ^[1]. The source materials do not specify what the proposed new fare levels would be, nor do they give a timeline for when a final decision might be made or when any approved fare change would take effect ^[1]. Readers who wish to comment on the proposal, or who want to see the specific fare figures Keisei Railway has requested, should consult the application documents and comment submission form linked in the ministry's official notice, as these details were not included in the summary provided ^[1]. Those affected by potential fare changes should watch for further announcements from MLIT or Keisei Railway regarding the outcome of this review process.
