Fares and Ticketing
The fare on the KMRT system is distance-based with a starting fare of NT$20, which is good for trips within 10 km. The maximum fare on Red Line is NT$60, from Siaogang Station to Ciaotou Station.
One way fare is ticketed with the RFID IC token. A RFID stored value card, the I Pass (一卡通, literally one card pass) is also offered. Discounts are offered to students and senior citizens. Outside of the KMRT system, the I Pass can also be used to pay for rides on Kaohsiung City buses.
The TaiwanMoney Card may also be used for payment of fares, but is not integrated with the automatic fare gate, requiring users to pass through station agent operated gates. Similar smart cards for use in the Taichung and Taipei areas cannot be used interchangeably.
