 PROFILE
It's a car. It's a plane. It's a bullet train. West Japan Railway, known as JR-West, operates passenger train service in the western part of Japan's main island of Honshu. Its combined conventional and high-speed routes cover 3,100 miles and encompassing 1,200 stations. Transporting passengers between Osaka and Hakata, JR-West's "shinkansen" bullet-train line accounts for about 40% of revenues. Other enterprises include managing real estate, hotels, and department stores, and providing advertisement services. The Japanese government is considering privatizing the JR group of companies, which includes JR-West, East Japan Railway, and Central Japan Railway.
