The Hanshin Main Line, which was inaugurated by Hanshin Electric Railway in 1908, suffered similar conditions, and both of them were sarcastically called 'Curve-gaisha' (company curved) as a parody of 'Kabushiki-gaisha' (company limited).
同様な路線として、阪神電気鉄道が1908年に開業させた阪神本線があり、どちらも「株式会社」をもじり「カーブ式会社」と皮肉られた。
