Therefore, it can be said that the trains that are actually in a competitive situation with the limited expresses of Meitetsu would be the Rapid trains (including New Rapid trains and Special Rapid trains), which require no extra charge, running in the same section on the regular railway line operated by JR Tokai.
したがって、名鉄特急と本格的に競合しているのは、むしろ同区間の在来線を走行するJR東海の追加料金不要の快速電車（新快速・特別快速を含む）であるといえる。
