Admin’s Note

I believe the disciplinary actions taken against the president and other executives of JR East are necessary measures to maintain the company’s credibility. Ongoing transportation disruptions can be incredibly stressful for users, and it’s important to show a willingness to take responsibility for such issues. In particular, I hope that the president’s decision to forfeit his own salary will lead to a broader shift in awareness within the company. I look forward to seeing the measures implemented to prevent similar incidents in the future.
