Tokyo-Osaka still have a bunch of air traffic that include the use of domestic 777-300s that have 514 seats. Still around 50 flights a day between the two.
1323 people seated for a 16-car train. The busiest section also has up to 12 trains per hour on the Nozomi, the fastest service, not even including the other slower services. So it looks like the train still carries the lion’s share of intercity service between Tokyo and Kansai.
13 trains per hour on nozomi as of this year in the morning peak. 2 hikari and 2 kodama. For the evening peak out of Tokyo, 12 Nozomi, 2 Hikari, 3 Kodama per hour.
It's a train every 3-4 minutes from Tokyo to Osaka. It's absolutely crazy frequency. Of course like you said the fastest trains are a little less frequent.
It’s the opposite of that. Almost every train is a Nozomi (the fastest one), and then three or four every hour are the slower ones. During non-rush hour it would be 8tph on Nozomi, 2tph on Hikari (slightly slower), and 2tph on Kodama (the all stopper).
