The line opened in two phases. The section from Kamikitadai to Tachikawa-Kita opened in November 1998 while the section south to Tama-Center opened in January 2000.[1]
Station numbering was introduced to all stations in February 2018.[2]
As of October 2022, there are plans to extend the route. One route is an extension north from the current terminus at Kamikitadai to Hakonegasaki Station on the Hachiko Line. The other two are southbound extensions from Tama-Center to Hachioji and Machida respectively.
In 2016, a proposal was made to extend the line from the current northern terminus atKamikitadai Station toHakonegasaki Station on theHachikō Line.[3] The planned extension to Hakonegasaki had been considered since planning for the entire route began in 1981.[4] The seven-station extension will be 7 km (4.3 mi) long and is projected to cost¥80 billion (2021) (US$728.93 million).
A southward expansion of the monorail line toHachiōji Station was also considered since the planning phase of the line in the 1980s. The expansion had also been considered to be run as a separatelight rail transit line, but was ultimately abandoned in December 2016 citing topographical and technological constraints.[5] As of 2016 the projected cost is¥190 billion (2016) (equivalent to¥193.87 billion orUS$1.78 billion in 2019)[6].[7]
An extension from Tama-Center toMachida Station has also been considered since the planning phase of the line in the 1980s. As of January 2022, the exact route remains undecided.[8] The most recent estimate determined that the construction would cost¥170 billion (2016) (equivalent to¥173.47 billion orUS$1.59 billion in 2019)[6].[7]
