If the average of the most crowded sections of lines has become significantly less crowded over the 30 year period, I suppose that was the result of new lines being built at a faster rate than ridership increased.The dotted line shows capacity, increase meaning new lines, more tracks, longer trains and so on. 100 is the capacity of 1975 (Showa 50 Imperial calender). The thin line shows ridership, again making the 1975 figure as 100. Between Heisei 2 (1990) and Heisei 7 (1995), Japan's economy crashed and many went jobless. Curiously, nowhere on the JR Chuo local line is more than 89% crowded! It's the V line of Tokyo... They should really stop sending half of the trains to Metro Tozai line and make all of them go to Shinjuku and beyond instead. |
