Saving Fares with Stops - 下車すれば電車賃節約

僕は毎週末、合唱の練習に逗子から大久保まで通っているが、往復2000円以上の交通費は安くない。先週たまたま用あって横浜で下車したら、2区間に分けた方が料金が安いのに気づいた。応用例としては、都内から鎌倉に遊びに行く時、横浜にも降りると安上がりということかな。安さでは横浜・渋谷間を東急に乗ればお得なことは分かっていたが、なかなかいつもその経路でというのは面倒な話です。


I travel from Zushi to Okubo every weekend for chorus training, and the train fare over 2,000 Yen back and forth is not cheap. The other day, I had to get off at Yokohama on my way and found the total fare was eventually cheaper. This same approach might be applicable for those visiting Kamakura from Tokyo area to save some coins by a stop at Yokohama. Well, if I take Tokyu Line between Yokohama and Shibuya, I know its even cheaper but I am a bit lazy to constantly use this route.
