Line 9 · The goldfish line

KINGYO

A tram that is also an aquarium, run by people who are unreasonably fond of goldfish. Scroll to board.

Stop 1 · Marigold Street

The 9 is running a little wet.

It is the only tram in the city with its own tide. You get used to it.

Mind the fins

It arrives already full.

Four thousand litres and forty-one goldfish. None of them have a ticket.

Doors opening

Step in. Don't tap the glass.

They can hear you perfectly well. They are just choosing not to answer.

Any seat you like

Sit still. They come to you.

Goldfish remember faces for months. Be one worth remembering.

Kingyo · Japanese for goldfish

We put an aquarium on rails because nobody visits a goldfish. So now the goldfish visit you.

How much water

A bowl is not a home.

A goldfish grows as long as your hand and wants to swim somewhere. Tell us how many, and what kind, and we will tell you the tank they would pick.
