No.73 Automatic ticket gate only for changes

(It is the Tokyo guide to introduce by the image and the column).


The special automatic ticket gate of the connection (The orange)


Because it is talking like the puzzle slightly, it makes a head soft and you read it.

Because to be called the fare of train becomes a kilo system, it is possible to ride with the ticket of the remaining even if it transfers if being the same company. In other words, it finishes without passing the ticket gate in the junction if being the same company. However, in case of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority, depending on the station, there is time to leave and the subway sometimes can not be transferred when not passing the gate on the structure. In such a case, because the ticket becomes necessary again even if it leaves the ticket gate, the automatic ticket gate to examine an ticket only and for the ticket to appear again must be passed. It is "a special automatic ticket gate of taking" by the automatic ticket gate.

A connection exclusive use automatic ticket gate is painted orange, again and the ticket becomes "TEKURU" mechanism when passing this automatic ticket gate. When passing an automatic ticket gate except this, a ticket is collected without appearing as the one to get off at this station without taking.

A wise mechanism is introduced to this "the connection exclusive use automatic ticket gate". When the passenger who was not who plans to take passes this automatic ticket gate by mistake, the ticket appears without door's opening and being collected but the passenger goes through just as it is without taking a ticket because he intends to get off. Then, the ticket to have gone out of becomes the mechanism which is collected, sinking in automatically when it comes about 5 seconds. If being so, it returns to the condition of usual wait without the problem even if the next passenger comes. By the way, it is when the passenger is being crowed and takes by the continuation and approaches a special automatic ticket gate that it becomes a problem here.

All of the persons which pass take, and it knows the mechanism of the special automatic ticket gate and if taking a ticket, the problem doesn't happen. It judges a passenger smoothly one after another.
After however, the 1st passenger intends to get off and has passed without taking a ticket , The phenomenon that the ticket of the person in front has still taken the ticket of the person in front of it by the coming status has happened when the 2nd passenger of the connection schedule puts in a ticket and passes an automatic ticket gate. Of moreover, that have taken the ticket of the 2nd person when the 3rd passenger, too, is schedule of the taking and that the 4th person has taken the ticket of the 3rd person ··· In other words, it has taken the ticket of the person in front one after another. Because moreover, the very persons don't have the feeling to have booked a ticket of the person in front about being a problem , When having left for the transfer railway briskly just as it is and getting off at the purpose station, it falls into the situation "of this ticket well, that that, the ticket must check out to have bought a ticket to the giving way. destination".
After doing the face to have made "doing" and passengers' stopping and doing backstairs gossip It takes a ticket while looking doubtful, and it knows a mechanism in the automatic ticket gate and rematch "SU"人, too, is necessary in its ticket after the feeling books a ticket of the person in front about the stuck person and abandons it. However, when mistaking and "SURI" changes with the ticket to the junction to have bought a high ticket to the distance, it is the worst scenario.


Pattern 1


Because this person is not a purpose of the taking
It passed without booking an appearing ticket.
When the person behind has taken this ticket, the ticket changes in "SURI".


Pattern 2


This person books and confirms a ticket of the person in front.
It puts its ticket and it tries to pass.


Pattern 3


For this person to have intended to get off
The state to be surprised at because the ticket appeared again
After this, it took a ticket for now and it looked doubtful.


In case of ride, at the time of the transfer, when getting off orange "the connection exclusive use automatic ticket gate", let's pass an ordinary automatic ticket gate to the subway. Of note because it is the fact that it is possible to do stopping-over as wise how to use but there is limitation in the connection time



This series is updated. It looks forward to the next time OBJ DO.
