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 |

| Comments: | I don't know if this is a thing in the English-speaking world. These glosses appear mostly in translations of Japanese documents. German has the term "Tarifkilometer". |
