what is it?
The Tokyo Metro 6000 series (東京メトロ6000系, Tōkyō Metoro 6000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type formerly operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line in Tokyo, Japan from 1971 to 2018. A number of trainsets have been exported to Indonesia for use by Kereta Commuter Indonesia following their withdrawal in Japan, and are currently in use on the KRL Commuterline. The trains have 20-metre (66 ft) aluminium 4-door cars, and were used on the Chiyoda Line, as well as Odakyu Odawara Line, and Joban Line (all-stations "local" services).
