I made some Tokyo style fare maps for the TTC Subway system. Over in Tokyo they use a distance based system with fares increasing the farther you travel although the system is segmented into zones that encompasses a certain range of distance. These zones being 0-6km, 7-11km, 12-19km, 20-27km, and 28-40km. As you could probably guess over there you tap in at your origin point and then tap out at your destination and your fare is then charged. I made 2 maps showing how the fare would be based off the current Tokyo Metro fare converted from Yen to Cad. As well this is only for the Subway system, I don't know how this would encompass the bus/streetcar network and in Tokyo people who use the Suica or Passmo card pay a reduced fare similar to our Presto; this is not facotred into the map it is only base fares.
Map 1 is if your journey started at Bloor-Yonge. Due to Bloor-Yonge being in roughly the centre of the system the fares spread out radially and only 3 zones are present.
Map 2 starts at Lawrence East as this is usually where I enter the system from. You can see since Lawrence East is at the eastern periphery of system the fares spread in a linear fashion from east to west. As well due to the start point being at the eastern end of the system the 4th fare zone presents itself at the western end of the system.
Now these maps as stated before use the Tokyo Metro fares converted to Cad (rounded to the nearest nickel) and obviously a real world implementation here would have a different set of fares.
