Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line (東京地下鉄丸ノ内線 Tōkyō Chikatetsu Marunouchi-sen?) is a subway line, part of the Tokyo Metro system in Tokyo, Japan. It is the second line to be built in the city, and the first one constructed after 1945. The route is U-shaped, running from Ogikubo Station in the west of the city via the commercial and administrative district of Shinjuku through to the Marunouchi commercial center around Tokyo Station, before turning back and heading to Ikebukuro. The Marunouchi Line's color on maps is red. Its stations carry the letter M followed by a number. A branch line goes to Honancho; its stations have a lowercase m. Its planning line number is Line 4.
Like its older cousin, the Ginza Line, the Marunouchi Line is standard gauge (others are narrow gauge), and uses the shortest trains in the Metro network, with only six cars. Its age, relatively small train size, and the lack of other subway connections to Shinjuku made it one of the most crowded lines in Tokyo for a long time, although the opening of the Toei Ōedo Line has relieved the problem somewhat. The Marunouchi Line is however the most frequent subway line in Tokyo, with trains timetabled at intervals of 1 minute 50 seconds at peak hours.
