metro line (and the second in Japan after the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line in Osaka), which allows it to use smaller cars and smaller tunnels. These putative cost savings were, however, offset by the need to build the line very deep (as low as 48 meters below ground at points) through central Tokyo, including three underground crossings of the Sumida River
. Originally budgeted at ¥682.6 billion and 6 years, the construction ended up taking nearly 10 years and estimates of the final cost of construction range from the official ¥988.6 billion to over ¥1,400 billion yen, making it the most expensive subway line ever built. (Yokohama's Minato Mirai Line
, however, was even costlier if measured per kilometer.)
Ridership projections originally estimated 1 million users daily, a figure scaled down to 820,000 before opening. At the end of 2006, the line was averaging 720,000 passengers/day. However, its ridership has increased by about five percent each year since its opening, following new commercial and residential development around major stations such as Roppongi and Shiodome. According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation
, as of June 2009 the Ōedo Line was the fourth most crowded subway line in Tokyo, at its peak running at 178% capacity between Monzen-Nakachō
and Tsukishima
stations.
There are plans to extend the Ōedo Line westward from its current western terminus at Hikarigaoka Station through Ōizumi-gakuen Station (on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line
) to Higashi-Tokorozawa Station (on the Musashino Line
). Construction of the first segment to Ōizumi-gakuen is tentatively scheduled for before 2015, although no concrete planning has yet been implemented.
The full 40.7 km trip from Tochōmae around the loop and onward to Hikarigaoka takes 81 minutes. Trains operate once every three to five minutes during rush hours, and once every six minutes during off-peak weekday hours, weekends and holidays.

The first segment from Hikarigaoka to Nerima began operations on December 10, 1991. The line was extended from Nerima to Shinjuku on December 19, 1997, and later to from Shinjuku to Kokuritsu-Kyōgijō on April 20, 2000.
With this extension, Shintarō Ishihara
, the governor of Tokyo, named the line Toei Ōedo Line, where Ōedo literally means "Great Edo
", a reference to Tokyo's former name. As was the case with earlier lines, the public was initially polled to select a name; however, Ishihara rejected the chosen name, , on the grounds that it would not initially form a complete loop, and that calling it such would cause confusion with the Yamanote Line
and the Osaka Loop Line
.
The full line began operation on December 12, 2000. An additional station (Shiodome Station) was opened on November 2, 2002 to connect to the Yurikamome
guideway transit line. Following the addition of Shiodome, the automated announcements in the trains were changed to advertise businesses and facilities near each station, a first in Tokyo (although this was already the practice on the municipal subways of Osaka and Nagoya).
.
Oedo Line trains are housed and maintained at the Kiba depot, located underneath Kiba Park to the southeast of Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station
. Prior to the completion of the Oedo Line loop in 2000, servicing was performed at a depot near Hikarigaoka Station
.
Major overhaul work for Oedo Line trains is performed at the Magome depot, located south of Nishi-Magome Station
on the Toei Asakusa Line. Oedo Line trains access this facility using a connecting tunnel to the Asakusa Line near Shiodome Station
. Because of the difference in power systems used on the two lines, a special Toei Class E5000
locomotive powers these ferry runs during overnight hours when the subway is closed.

Services
The Ōedo Line runs in a loop around central Tokyo before branching out towards Nerima in the western suburbs, meaning the line is shaped like a figure of 6 lying on its side. It is not a true loop line: trains from the western Hikarigaoka terminus run anticlockwise around the loop and terminate at the intermediate Tochōmae Station facing towards Hikarigaoka, and vice-versa.The full 40.7 km trip from Tochōmae around the loop and onward to Hikarigaoka takes 81 minutes. Trains operate once every three to five minutes during rush hours, and once every six minutes during off-peak weekday hours, weekends and holidays.
History
The Ōedo Line was first proposed in 1968 as an incomplete loop line from Shinjuku around northern and eastern Tokyo to Azabu. This plan was amended in 1972 to complete the loop back to Shinjuku, extend it to Hikarigaoka and add a spur line to MejiroMejiro Station
