I like the thin lines for thru services. It helps differentiate where the metro service ends and becomes commuter rail.

Unlike many other large metropolitan areas, Osaka and Tokyo metro lines mostly serve the cities' inner cores only. Their suburbs are served by private suburban railways and JR lines. That is why Osaka Metro and Tokyo Metro's line lengths are shorter than other metro systems.

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.

Fun fact: the extension of the Midosuji line out to Shin-Osaka was a result of the development of the Shinkansen (bullet train) service between Tokyo and Osaka in 1964. They couldn't run the line through the downtown area because land prices were too high so they created a new station on the outskirts of the city, similar to Yokohama and Kobe. Interestingly, the city center did not move to the bullet train stop, but stayed where it was.

@@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.

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.

However, the 20 series, 30000a series, and 400 series currently run on the Chuo Line, but the 20 series and 30000a series will disappear after the Expo, and the 400 series will become the main line.

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.

Hankyu should be considered as commuter's railroad, but, they're doing well, with very high frequency services, also can be transfer easily between local and express trains.
