Other operators

Toyo Rapid Railway

Ten former Tozai Line sets were converted in 1995 to Tōyō Rapid 1000 series EMUs for use on the Tōyō Rapid Railway extension of the Tozai Line.

Indonesia

Three former Tozai Line ten-car sets (5809, 5816, and 5817) were shipped to Indonesia in 2007, entering service with KRL Jabotabek (now Kereta Commuter Indonesia) in the Jakarta area from January 2007.[2]

The three sets were each reduced to eight-car formations on arrival in Indonesia.[2] Set 5816 was withdrawn in September 2014.[2]

Of the two remaining sets, set 5817 was lengthened to ten cars in July 2017 with the addition of two intermediate cars from former Toyo Rapid 1000 series set 1091.[2]

Set 5817 finally ended their final operation in Jakarta, Indonesia in January 2020.

During this COVID-19 pandemic Set 5817 is used temporarily for more room to practice social distancing.
