Related to the the post about the Keikyu poster, here is some info on train crowding at selected stations on the Toyoko and Den'en Toshi Lines. From the Tokyu corporate website. Toyoko Line (*crowding level is at arrival at Naka-Meguro) Yokohama: http://www.tokyu.co.jp/railway/guide/off-peak/pdf/rail-ty_yokohama.pdf Kikuna: http://www.tokyu.co.jp/railway/guide/off-peak/pdf/rail-ty_kikuna.pdf Musashi Kosugi: http://www.tokyu.co.jp/railway/guide/off-peak/pdf/rail-ty_musashi-kosugi.pdf Jiyugaoka: http://www.tokyu.co.jp/railway/guide/off-peak/pdf/rail-ty_jiyugaoka.pdf Den'en Toshi Line (*crowding level is at arrival at Shibuya) Minami Machida: http://www.tokyu.co.jp/railway/guide/off-peak/pdf/rail-dt_minami-machida.pdf Nagatsuta: http://www.tokyu.co.jp/railway/guide/off-peak/pdf/rail-dt_nagatsuta.pdf *note on the Den'en Toshi Line the relatively uniform level of services ("heikou daiya" or parallel pathings), the service pattern from Futakotamagawa to Shibuya is all stops for all trains during the morning rush, regardless whether the train is designated a local or semi express. The very high congestion levels on this line dictate this pattern- it allows more trains to be squeezed into the rush hour, at the sacrifice of speed.
