1.
riding past one's stop; overshooting one's station
The act of traveling beyond one's intended destination on a train, bus, or other public transport, requiring adjustment of the fare.
乗り越しに気をつけて。
Be careful not to ride past your stop.
寝過ごして二つも乗り越しをしてしまった。
I fell asleep and rode two stops past my station.
乗り越し精算機で差額を払った。
I paid the difference at the fare adjustment machine.
Derived from the verb 乗り越す (to ride past). This is an extremely common occurrence in daily Japanese train travel, and the railway system is well set up to handle it.
COMMON COLLOCATIONS:
- 乗り越し精算: fare adjustment (for riding past one's stop)
- 乗り越し精算機: fare adjustment machine
- 乗り越し料金: excess fare
- 乗り越しをする: to ride past one's stop
USAGE:
At Japanese train stations, 乗り越し精算機 (fare adjustment machines) are located near the ticket gates. If you ride past your ticketed destination, you insert your ticket into the machine and pay the difference before exiting. With IC cards like Suica or PASMO, the correct fare is automatically deducted, so 乗り越し精算 is mainly relevant for paper ticket holders.
