Every year about 610 million passengers carried Kintetsu. Transitions to the major competitors in the Kinkiregion (for example, Hankyu, Hanshin, JR or subway trains in the target cities ) are guaranteed, partially in schedule coordination.
The railway network of different types of trains such as Local ( holds between start and destination stations at each station), Semi -Express ( stops at traffic junctions and selected stations ), Express ( stops at traffic junctions ), Rapid Express ( stops at major transport nodes) or Limited Express (Urban liner; driving without stop between cities, keeps to the main transport hub in the start and destination city) used in parallel. Since the rail network between stations is designed twin-track usually the slower trains wait in selected four - or multiple-track railway on overtaking by faster trains.
The widespread in western Japan and especially the Kinki region RFID payment card ICOCA and also RFID-based PiTaPa is supported at all stations at each access by at least one specially marked, ticket barrier.
