That is a pain in the arse i agree, but if you have a pasmo it no longer concerns you.

Well…hahaha…I live in Yellowknife, NorthWest Territories in Canada…we barely have buses here and the price is about 2,50$ where ever you go! And its an isolated area. Fare adjustment is not a concern…But i love the system in Japan very smart people i have to say!

Japan is probably the most convenient nation besides Korea and Thailand. You can get anything you want quite easily.

That’s another great things in Japan. I know that this country is so admirable even I’ve never been there.

In Vancouver, the Transit Authority (public transit police) likes to taser uncooperative fare evaders. It’s just awesome!

I remember the story of the guy who the train police beat up n Australia.. from memory he even had a correct ticket, he just refused to give his full name, date of birth etc etc all the private stuff that you may not want to tell complete strangers.. so they decided to strong arm him… UFB… Japan sure is convenient.

Nah, no such thing here. SkyTrain has ticket booths at every station, but you have to pay ahead of time for a 1, 2 or 3 zone ticket. No adjustments can be made once you are on it. You could, I guess, get off once you hit a different zone and buy a new 1 zone ticket if you needed, but that’s as close as you’ll come to “fare adjustment”.

Cheers!
