On the Osaka side in particular, limited expresses of Kintetsu Railway as well have an advantageous point in that, although Shin-Osaka, the terminal station of the Shinkansen line, is located far from the Minami area, the station for the limited expresses (for example, Nanba Station) is located within walking distance from the area.
大阪側では、特に新幹線ターミナルの新大阪から離れたミナミに対しては、乗換を必要としないエリア（なんばなど）があることなどの意味で、近鉄特急にも優位性がある。
