To date, various reforms have been undertaken, such as conversion from the shared tracks to exclusive tracks, and the construction of overhead crossings, and currently a new reform plan is ongoing (the survey expense has been allocated in the national budget of FY 2007 for an elevation plan of the section from Korien Station to Hirakatashi Station); however, since the section where the train is permitted to increase the speed up to 110 km/h is only the straight-line section between Kyobashi Station and Moriguchishi Station and still many curves remain throughout the line, the company is sometimes sarcastically called the 'Keihan Electric Curved-Railway Company.'
併用軌道の専用軌道化、立体交差化などによる改良が重ねられ、現在も改良工事が計画（香里園から枚方市までの高架化計画が、国の2007年度予算で調査費が計上）されているが、110km/h走行が可能となった区間は京橋～守口市間の直線のみで、今もカーブは随所に残り、「京阪電気鉄道カーブ式会社」と揶揄されることもある。
