      What's the system they use? POP?

      There's no fare gates. There's just plenty of automated fare terminal machines at the entrance and on station next to where you get on...1/2

      They randomly have plain clothes inspectors and uniformed inspectors come and check tickets. It's not perfect, but most people pay

      ah, ok--that's a POP system...I still dislike how easily they enable fare evaders

      Gotcha. Well, it was made for a high trust society which was relatively homogenous until recently...

      Sure--but the Japanese system is also made for a high-trust society which, nonetheless, excludes the possibility of fare evasion by design

      fare gates at most stations so you can't get to the platforms without paying; rural or low-ridership lines check fares at the train door

      which is to say--there is no possibility of using the service if you don't pay; no inspection you can avoid etc even just be being lucky

      How often do the trains/metros come? In Berlin they come and go every 5 minutes [depends on line and S-Bahn different from U-Bahn)

      Depends on the route--in major cities, up to every 2 minutes. More rural lines, where you'll likely pay at the door, can be as rare as 4/day

          How fast is buying a ticket?

          Assuming pay-at-door, you usually pay while exiting--pick up a ticket when you get on & an updating fare table tells u how much to pay

          payment depends on distance traveled, so the ticket you get will just say where you boarded--the table shows payment based on boarding stop

          So match the name on your ticket with the name on the board, and the fare will update as you move down the line
