Evolution of the Osaka Metro 1933-2022 (animation) 

They also couldn't build because of the unfavorable alignment. There were 4 proposals, Shin-Ōsaka was the most favourable one for both of our afforementioned reasons.

@@hartstukken Unfavorable alignment. I know what you mean but it sounds like a reason your zones didn't build in Sim City 3000.

@@hughmungusbungusfungus4618 they couldn't demolish kilometres of buildings in the right of way to reach Ōsaka station. Then again the curve was also too large to get out of the city on the Sanyō shinkansen

@@hartstukken That sounds right. They're having similar problems with the Chuo Shinkansen now.

@@hughmungusbungusfungus4618 well not quite, back then it was really just land acquisition and selection of the alignment. Now in Shizuoka prefecture the tunnel construction is halted under the Ōi river, due to a groundwatee eruption during construction. But the Ōi river is an important water resource for Shizuoka prefecture. JR Central and the prefecture can't settle an agreement on what to do so construction continues in the cities, but not in Shizuoka prefecture.

The other reason is because most of the Japanese subway system are operated by the city or municipal themselves or these authorities got a shareholder in the operating company. So, it's quite difficult for them to operate outside of the city boundary. The Kita-Osaka Kyuko Railway was also created because of this reason.

@@kodama711 it would make logical sense for Osaka Metro to acquire the Kitakyu and Keihanna lines to be integrated into the system since they are on third rail with no grade crossings.

@@SigmaRho2922 The reason the Keihanna line exists is because Kintetsu didn't want to lose market share on its parallel Nara line

I do recall that doctrine having a worse effect in Nagoya but I can't put together that story properly

@@jmstransit Meitetsu (a private company) intended to build Komaki Line from Inuyama City to Heian-dōri which is to become a transfer station with Nagoya Subway. All other sections were built, but Nagoya City refused to give permit for the very last section, including only 2 stations, Kami-Iida and Heian-dōri, since this section is solely in Nagoya City, and in Munroe Doctrine only the City can operate this section. So passengers from Inuyama, and also passengers from Tōkadai Line, a branch of Komaki Line, had to transfer to bus (of course operated by Nagoya City) at Kami-Iida Station to enter the city center. This caused a huge inconvenience and many residents chose to take direct buses to Nagoya city center instead of railway. Komaki Line was struggling and its branch line, Tōkadai Line, was even closed due to lack of passengers. Finally, years after Tōkadai Line's closure, Nagoya City built a subway line from Heian-dōri to Kami-Iida with through service to Inuyama to close this gap of railway, and this is still in the framework of Monroe Doctrine since the subway is operated by Nagoya City. But Tōkadai Line never reopened.

Right, the peachliner Yeah that's peak Nagoya gadgetbahn Edit: This looks to be the same reason half the stations on the Yamanote Line are in the top 50 busiest stations of the world

Yes indeed Tōkyō has Monroe Doctrine as well, but almost every station on Yamanote Line has also Metro or Subway lines towards inside of the loop, many having through services with private railways or JR towards outside of the loop. If you go radically you often don't need to transfer but just take a train with through service. It's inacceptable for one of the world's largest cities to have a train terminating on its loop line but with no mass transit to go inside :) I think the reason many stations on the Yamanote Line are in the top 50 busiest stations of the world is simply because they are huge transfer stations with so many lines, and because most of the world, excluding Japan, don't count subways or metros as normal railways, so they don't count that part of passenger numbers.

​@@liyangzhang8592 Its different Tokyo had a JNR Monroe doctrIne but not for the subways. The two operators (Toei and Tokyo metro) had to compete for funds and political support so they developed extensive subway through-running in their route planning from the Asakusa line onwards. Yamanote is simply the perfect urban city centre orbital, connectIng to all the main stations and districts, seperated ROW, subway frequencies and even some radial elements Ueno-Shinagawa.

MetroCucumber made the video

None of them. Osaka has a monorail system with 2 lines in the northern parts of the city. But they're not officially part of the metro and thus they are not on this map. Aside from the metro, Osaka also has a lot of other metro-like train lines, such as the Osaka Loop Line, the JR San'yo line, and the private Nankai, Hankyu and Hanshin networks. This video only shows a tiny part of the many urban train lines that operate in Osaka.

大阪は私鉄が強すぎる

私鉄やJR含めたら、大阪は東京と互角のレベルだよ。

Как мы видим новых станций невидим уже больше 10 лет. Это дает повод задуматься.

I use Adobe After Effects :)

Thank you so much 😊

South Korea Busan please yes

How do you get that impression? Even at the current build-out it looks comprehensive with lines crossing the city end-to-end...

Yeah don’t even forget about the suburban railways. They mostly serve areas not served by the subway.
