これは各駅停車だよ。次の駅で急行に乗り換えられるはず！
これはかくえきていしゃだよ。つぎのえきできゅうこうにのりかえられるはず！
This is a local train. You should be able to switch to an express at the next stop!
Gesture & etiquette
Point toward the train map on the wall or the train carriage door while speaking.
Do not use formal 'desu/masu' endings as it ruins the casual friendship tone.
