A derailment accident occurred in Yokohama municipal subway, and a certain section was in a state of suspension for several days.

My commuting section was directly damaged and I had to commute on an alternate route.

Under this condition, commuting IC cards such as SUICA and PASMO will become difficult to use.

However, the company that caused (or be caused by)the accident will compensate for the fare for the alternative route. I do not have to pay that fare.

However, current IC cards do not have the ability to automatically convert routes into alternate routes.

So, if I use the IC card, "I" will pay for the alternative route.

"What do I have to do"

I asked the station staff of the ticket gate, he said

"In every ticket gate, show your IC card to the station staff, and do not touch the ticket reader."

"Copernicus-like transformation of ideas"

The IC card has not been "existing" for the first time.

Considering that the IC card should be changed according to the accident section, the cost of system repair can be daunting.

It will also force passengers to make changes such as entering alternative routes, which may cause confusion.

To begin with, such an accident that stops operation for several days is a rare case.

I think that the money that the railway company that caused the accident pays to other railway companies is likely to be "approximate estimation".

Maybe, "no one wants to know exactly to "yen unit" using IC card information"

Honestly, personal injuries occur at a frequency of "Greeting with neighbors," even without saying "everyday greeting."

Therefore, the railway company is in an interdependence relationship.

However, it is the story among railway companies. Hey, Yokohama Municipal Subway. I am "irrelevant" against your community.
