-	The Hibiya line has a maximum speed of only 80 km/h, making it one of the slower train lines in Tokyo, traveling at the same speed of the old Ginza Line. The Line is represented on the map by silver colors, as well as an “H” (not to be confused with the Hanzomon Line, which is represented by a Z). The Hibiya line only uses one type of vehicle, the 03 series, which is an eight car train. It travels to 21 different stations, from [[Meguro]] to [[Adachi]]. In order, the Hibiya line travels to the following districts: Meguro, [[Shibuya]], [[Minato]], [[Chiyoda]], [[Chuo]], Chiyoda (again), [[Taito]], [[Arakawa]] and Adachi.	+	The Hibiya line has a maximum speed of only 80 km/h, making it one of the slower train lines in Tokyo, traveling at the same speed of the old Ginza Line.
