How Suica Card Fares Work
Suica cards use a distance-based fare system. The basic fare structure is as follows:
Standard Fare Formula:
Fare = (Distance in km × 1.2) + 130 yen
Minimum fare: 130 yen (for trips under 1 km)
Maximum fare: 940 yen (for trips over 70 km)
Special fares apply for children (50% discount), seniors (20% discount), and disabled passengers (free).
The Suica system automatically deducts the fare from your card balance when you tap in and out of stations.
Example Calculations
Here are some example fare calculations:
| Distance (km) | Fare Type | Estimated Fare (yen) |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5 | Standard | 160 |
| 10 | Standard | 350 |
| 20 | Senior | 420 (20% discount) |
| 50 | Child | 315 (50% discount) |
These examples show how the fare increases with distance and how discounts apply to different passenger types.
