Get off at the next station
First, get off at the next station, and check the line and direction toward your destination using the signs on the platform or inside the station. Since rapid or express trains may pass through stations without stopping, also check whether the next train you board stops at your destination.
If You Get on the Wrong Train
- Notice the Mistake
- Get Off at Next Station
- Check the Signs
- Ask Station Staff
If you're not sure, ask a station staff member
If you're not sure, ask a station staff member before exiting the ticket gate. The fare handling may change if you travel across different railway companies, or if you exit the gate and transfer.
