System administration
Both Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway systems are closely integrated with a unified system of line colors, line codes, and station numbers. However, the separate administration of metro systems has some ramifications:- For single rides across Metro and Toei systems, a special transfer ticket is required. It costs 70 yen less than the sum of the Metro fare and the Toei fare, calculated based on the shortest possible route between the origin and destination stations. The PassnetPassnetwas a stored-fare system using magnetic cards of the 22 members of the Passnet Association in the Kantō region of Japan. It was available between October 14, 2000 and January 11, 2008 in 1,000, 3,000 and 5,000 yen varieties....
system simplified such ticketing problems, by allowing one stored-fare card to be used on most of the rail operators in the Greater Tokyo AreaGreater Tokyo AreaThe Greater Tokyo Area is a large metropolitan area in Kantō region, Japan, consisting of most of the prefectures of Chiba, Kanagawa, Saitama, and Tokyo .

(with the noticeable exception of JR East which continued to use its own SuicaSuicais a rechargeable contactless smart card used as a fare card on train lines in Japan. Launched in November 2001, the card is usable currently in the Kantō region, at JR East stations near Sendai and Niigata...

system was introduced in 2007 and completely replaced the Passnet in 2008, finally allowing for one unified stored fare system for most of the Tokyo transit system, including JR East. The fare charged by the stored fare system is the same as for the users of paper tickets. - The systems represent the metro network differently in station, train, and customer information diagrams. For example, the Toei map represents the Toei Ōedo LineToei Oedo LineThe is a subway line in Tokyo, Japan operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation .
