it is one of the major private railway companies with an average of 1 ,950 ,000 (one million nine hundred fifty thousand ) users a day and a total operation of 146 .6 kilometers . 平均利用者数195万人/日、営業キロ146.6kmに及ぶ、大手私鉄の一つである。
additionally , the rapid trains (including those of tambaji rapid service ) stop every station on the 72 .8-km section above sanda station , which accounts for approximately 68% of the total operation kilometers of the fukuchiyama line , thereby resulting in poor convenience and promptness as well as the high fare of taking a limited express train . その上、快速列車（丹波路快速を含む）は三田駅以北の72.8km（福知山線全営業キロの約68%）が各駅停車で利便性・速達性に乏しく、特別急行列車を利用するにしても特急料金が発生して交通費が高額になってしまう。
