Some people say that Osaka City's budget is full of loss. I think it is right. But, the main reason of loss is not in the municipal subway but in the municipal bus. See the next table.
Here are the consolidated accounts of Osaka municipal subway in 2010
(Currency:Yen)
Total loss | 140,324,063,820 |
Subsidies(included in total profit) | 12,819,893,163 |
Total profit | 164,225,955,204 |
Income and expenditure | 23,901,891,384 |
Income and expenditure(excluding Subsidies) | 11,081,998,221 |
Cumulative income | 18,638,106,972 |
As you see, no evidence supporting the rumor that Osaka municipal subway is the cause of loss was proved.
We have to check the source of information in order not to be deceived.
