Paid area

Paid area

In rail transport, paid area is a dedicated "inner" zone in the railway station which sealed by barriers. Passengers are only allowed to enter or exit through ticket gate. Paid area usually exists in rapid transit railway station for separating the train platform from station exit, assuring a passenger has paid or prepaid before reaching the platform and using any transport service. Such design requires a well organized railway station layout.

Platform Ticket

A platform ticket allows non-travellers access to the paid area of a station to greet friends and family members or to assist them with their luggage without having to have a ticket for a journey. These are generally only available at major terminal stations.
