Original: 新幹線
The railway construction agency's accounting for a washing device used in Shinkansen construction work has come under scrutiny, with reports saying the equipment cost an estimated 60 million yen more than it should have. The Saga Shimbun report has drawn attention in Japan, where public works cost overruns are a sensitive topic and questions are being raised about how the surplus expense accumulated.
Why now: A reported 60 million yen cost overrun on Shinkansen-related construction equipment has sparked public concern about railway agency spending.
