Suppose I want to go from Machida (in suburban Tokyo) to Odawara (a satellite city of Tokyo). If I leave Thursday at 11:00 AM, my fare is 590 yen. What if I leave at 5:00 PM? Also 590 yen. If I leave a week later? 590 yen. If I leave RIGHT NOW? 590 yen.

If I want to reserve a seat on a limited express train to go the same distance, then I pay the same surcharge (I think around 600 something yen) if I'm booking same-day as if I'm booking a month early. Prices are RELIABLE making travel easier!

Pay more for: - longer distances traveled - service upgrades (reserved seats, first class seats, etc) Do NOT pay more for: - buying your ticket moments before getting on the train

Does Japan have fixed “rush hour pricing”? It seems to me that (reliably) selling off-time tickets for less would be a good way of managing the resource.
-
no, they charge the same rate for peak and off-peak travel
-
Doesn’t that seem wrong? Shouldn’t there be a peak-time surcharge to shift load? Or does that just reduce the overall income via demand reduction?
-
Trying to micromanage people's schedules like this is more of a deterrent to ridership than a rearranger of it--the crowd is a deterrent on its own, nobody who can travel at other times is choosing to travel in the peak in the first place
-
What happens when you charge extra in the peak is: - it's harder to know how much you'll pay for a trip - a lot of people with no choice just get gouged - the immense crowds persist anyway

What about age?

fixed for given age brackets (flat rate discounts for elderly and children; young children ride free)

I am willing to wage jihad for the sake of this issue, my fair native land has been ravaged by this blight.
