I've talked in the past about Japan's distance-based fares...today I'll go into more depth about it.
-
-
Prices are *very* slightly higher on Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and *very* slightly lower in Tokyo and Osaka's urban networks
-
Private railroads usually offer slightly lower rates than adjacent JR lines
-
Lastly, please recall that this thread is only concerning BASE FARE; if you want to reserve a seat etc you will pay surcharges
-
Base fare is what you pay for an unreserved seat on an ordinary train--in other words, +90% of daily trips.

What is the median income for this region?
-
Japan's median household income in 2012 was $42,000
-
I would then ask what is the median length of a trip? But with such high income I imagine the fares are well adjusted
-
I have no idea about the median length of a trip...
-
Ah well thanks anyway. I've been thinking if my city's public transportation is good and thought I would ask!

Yes! Even w/ out the cleanliness & comfort: just the reliability & frequency make that a good deal imo
