Fares and passes in Osaka
A single ride is priced by distance, not by the number of stations. Most trips inside the city centre fall in the first two zones.
Single ride
| Zone | Distance | Adult | Child |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | up to 3 km | ¥190 | ¥100 |
| 2 | 3 to 7 km | ¥240 | ¥120 |
| 3 | 7 to 13 km | ¥290 | ¥150 |
| 4 | 13 to 19 km | ¥340 | ¥170 |
| 5 | over 19 km | ¥390 | ¥200 |
Transferring between the subway and an Osaka City Bus takes ¥100 off the adult fare, ¥50 off the child fare.
