Characteristics of the Tozai Line

Tozai Line is convenient for commuting to work and school

The Tozai Line is a Tokyo Metro line that connects Nishi-Funabashi Station to Nakano Station.

Not only is it convenient for going to the city center from Chiba, but you can also access various areas from Otemachi Station, which is a terminal station.

During rush hours, the next train will arrive in as little as 2 minutes, making it convenient even on busy mornings.

If you commute to work or school in the city center, consider a property on the Tozai Line.

Rapid service on the Tozai Line is also convenient.

Rapid trains also operate on the Tozai Line.

The certified maximum speed of the rapid train is 100km/h, making it the fastest subway line.

Although it does not stop at some stations, it is convenient for accessing transfer stations such as Otemachi and Nihonbashi.

In order to reduce the time spent commuting to work or school, it would be a good idea to move near a station where rapid trains stop.

The high congestion rate on the Tozai Line will be resolved soon! ?

The Tozai Line's congestion rate approaches 200% during rush hours, and it is also known as the ``crowded train.''

In response, Tokyo Metro is proceeding with measures to aim for a congestion rate of 180% or less.

Specifically, we will improve the efficiency of the flow of people by expanding platforms, and expanding routes and platforms.

These works are scheduled to be completed in stages from 2022 to 2027, and are expected to make the Tozai Line even more comfortable to use in the future.
