The was an electric multiple unit
train type operated on the then TRTA Hibiya Line
from 1961 to 1994.
This train was fitted with safety systems compatible with the Tōkyū Tōyoko Line and Tōbu Isesaki Line. This train was also compatible with driverless operation on the Hibiya Line section experimented during the 1960s and subsequently put into service (but subsequently stopped some time later). These experiments later became the basis of operating the Namboku Line
in driverless mode.
The 3000 series trains were phased out from 1988 following the introduction of the Tokyo Metro 03 series
, with the entire fleet withdrawn by 1994.
Some trains are now operated by the Nagano Electric Railway
as 3-car sets, where they were reclassified as 3500 and 3600 series.
