A refurbishment program was carried out on all six 2000 series sets between 2015 and 2017.[4] The destination signs were replaced with multilingual four-color destination signs and the interior seating arrangement was changed.[5]
After that, the 2000N series, which has been renewed mainly underfloor equipment and interior decoration of the main circuit equipment and auxiliary power supply equipment, has completed all renovation work, has started operating on January 7, 2021.[6]
