*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.
