The construction of high-rise apartment buildings is accompanied by an increase in demand for transport services. Tokyo authorities plan to meet it by 2040 through the implementation of a subway line project worth about 500 billion yen (3.6 billion US dollars). In the future, it is possible to connect this subway line with the railway line that JR East plans to build between Tokyo Central Station and Haneda International Airport.

In April 2022, operator Tokyo Metro received approval to build two extensions: the 4.8 km Yurakucho Line and the 2.5 km Namboku Line. Their commissioning is possible in the mid-2030s.
