In 1991 the West Japan Railway Company (JR West) got into the competition, beginning its operation between Kyoto Station and Nara Station on the JR Nara Line, which runs in parallel; however, the Kintetsu Kyoto Line is still dominant in terms of the number of trains operating. 1991年から西日本旅客鉄道(JR西日本)も、並行するJR奈良線京都~奈良間に快速列車を運転し対抗しているが、運転本数の多さで近鉄京都線がまだ優勢である。 |
