Machine-translated summary — verify against original

Between January 12 and 13, 2023, the Hokkaido Transport Bureau conducted a safety audit of Bib Town, Hokkaido. The audit revealed the following issues: 1. Changes to wind speed settings during operation and shutdown of the second and sixth pair parallel lifts had not been reported as required under Article 12 of the Railway Business Act, which is applied by reference from Article 38 of the same law. Bib Town is instructed to complete the necessary reporting and manage future modifications properly. 2. Some signage on the third parallel lift, which passengers are required to observe, was found to be damaged. Bib Town must properly display the signage and prevent recurrence. 3. The nighttime lighting equipment in the fifth cubicle was found to be in use with insulation faults. Corrective actions are required to address this issue and prevent future occurrences. The report on measures taken must be submitted by March 13, 2023. The guidance is issued by the Hokkaido Transport Bureau.
