Additionally, the company had to face serious problems due to the failure to attract users, because Shinkeihan Railway's terminal station, Saiin Station, was a provisional setup and the station itself (as well as Tenjinbashi Station on the Osaka side, located at the edge of the city) couldn't provide convenience for users; moreover, the population along the line was scarce for the reason previously mentioned.
その上、新京阪鉄道の路線は京都側のターミナルが仮の西院駅で、大阪側の天神橋駅も同じように市街地の縁にあってどちらも利便性が悪かったことと、沿線の人口も前述のような理由で多くなかったことから、利用客が伸びずに同社はもっとひどい苦境に陥った。
