Fares
A special discount rate is applied for travels within the Osaka Loop Line, the Sakurajima Line and the segment between JR Namba Station and Tennōji Station of the Kansai Main Line (collectively called the Osaka Loop Zone (大阪環状線内, Ōsaka Kanjōsen-nai?)). The following table is the rate for adult single-ride tickets. (Note: Fractions of one kilometre shall be rounded up to the nearest full kilometre.)
| Kilometre | Yen |
|---|---|
| 1 – 3 | 120 |
| 4 – 6 | 160 |
| 7 – 10 | 170 |
| 11 – 15 | 190 |
| 16 – 20 | 250 |
For travels between a station within the zone and a station out of the zone or between two stations out of the zone, fares are calculated in accordance with a universal fare table and the good rate as above is not applicable.
For the calculations of the fares for travels between two stations out of the zone that include the segment between Ōsaka Station and Tennōji Station of the Osaka Loop Line, where two routes (10.7 km route via Temma and 11.0 km route via Fukushima) are practical, the shorter route is always used irrespective of the actual travel route.
