Refs: | gg5, daij, koj https://openjicareport.jica.go.jp/pdf/12084463.pdf "A working kilometer refers to a distance between one station and another station in the system and is used as the basis of fare calculation. In general, it refers to a distance between the center of a station and the center of another station and is set in 0.1Km units. A working kilometer is equivalent to the actual line length, not the distance in a straight line. " https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/営業キロ |
