Its official name is Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., while the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau refers to it as Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., and in MLIT publications it is referred to as Script error: No such module "Nihongo".. On line maps, stations on the Midōsuji Line are indicated with the letter "M".

North of Nakatsu it runs above ground in the median of Shin-midōsuji, an elevated freeway.

The section between Minoh-kayano and Esaka is owned and operated by Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., but is seamless to the passengers except with respect to fare calculations.

In June 2018, the Midōsuji Line is the most congested railway line in the Kansai region of Japan,[2] at its peak running at 151% capacity between Umeda and Yodoyabashi stations.

Template:Refimprove section The Midōsuji Line was the first subway line in Osaka and the first government-operated subway line in Japan. Its construction was partly an effort to give work to the many unemployed people in Osaka during the early 1930s. The initial tunnel from Umeda to Shinsaibashi, as well as the Umeda depot, were constructed entirely by hand and opened in 1933 after being initially plagued by cave-ins and water leakage caused by the poor composition of the earth below northern Osaka and the equally poor engineering skills of the work crew.[3] The first cars were hauled onto the line by manpower and pack animals from the Government Railway tracks near Umeda.[citation needed]

Although the line only operated with single cars at first, its stations were designed from the outset to handle trains of up to eight cars. The line was gradually extended over the next few decades, completing its current length in 1987, making it the second-longest subway line in Osaka after the Tanimachi Line (excluding the Kita-Osaka Kyūkō Railway extension of the Midōsuji Line).

Rolling stock

A 30000-series train stabled at the pocket track after Shin Osaka Station.

Since 1987, all Midōsuji Line rolling stock operated by Osaka Metro are stored and maintained at Nakamozu Depot, the first underground depot in the Osaka Metro system. The first depot for the Midōsuji Line was located near Umeda station, which was replaced by Abeno Depot in 1950, Nagai Depot in 1954 (now used mainly for maintenance-of-way vehicles), and Abiko Depot in 1960 (closed in 1987). Since 2016, it is also possible for Midōsuji Line rolling stock to access Midorigi Depot on the Yotsubashi Line via pointworks before Daikokuchō station, after heavier repairs and maintenance of all third-rail-powered Osaka Metro rolling stock were consolidated there.
