Most Chuo rapids make those local stops too,Sorry, my mistake. Even if most of those people work at Shinjuku, I wouldn't want to deprive them of service to the old east side business district! So the Chuo rapid is very crowded because it serves both Shinjuku and the old CBD, unlike the Tozai metro which misses Shinjuku and the Chuo local which misses the older business districts near Tokyo station (Otemachi and Nihombashi). A lot of people who work at Otemachi and Nihombashi comes from the other end of the Tozai line and that eastern part is very crowded. I noticed that. The most crowded place on the entire subway is from Kiba to Monzen-Nakacho on the Tozai metro (198%). There has been talk of closing down Takadanobaba - Nakano of the Tozai line and divert it to a through service on the Seibu Shinjuku line I can see the attraction of through running of some, but not all, Tozai metro trains to the Seibu Shinjuku line via Takadanobaba ("Baba"), which must be a busy interchange station. But some users of the Tozai metro would still want to go to Nakano and Mitaka. And of course a great many users of the Seibu Shinjuku line would still want to use Seibu Shinjuku station. |
