Supplementary notes

*Main sections refer to those sections that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) has surveyed continuously in its congestion statistics.
**According to the source, the MLIT defines a 100 percent congestion as a situation where the train carries the designated capacity of passengers (they can either take a seat, grab a hanging strap, or grab a stanchion next to a door). In contrast, 150 percent is a situation where passengers can still comfortably read an unfolded newspaper, and 180 percent is when a passenger can, with some difficulty, read a folded newspaper. The rate represents the average level of congestion during the busiest hour.
