The ‘Transfer’ page consists of the following directions:
- The top station mark: the line and station information you’ll need
- If a station has several transfer lines, the lines and their station names (at a maximum of five) are shown beneath it.
Each transfer line has two lines on the right side:
- Upper information: the ticket gate information
- Go-through: You must go through the ticket gate to transfer to the line and station shown on the left.
- Stay inside: You don’t need to go through the ticket gate to transfer to the line shown on the left.
- Lower information: directions to the next platform/station to transfer
- Change platforms: You must walk a short distance to reach a platform/station to transfer; this sometimes requires going up/down stairs.
- Underground connection: You must take a relatively long walk to reach a platform/station to transfer.
- Transfer at the ground level: you need to go to the ground level to transfer.
- Via a direct transfer gate: There is a direct transfer gate between two lines; you can move to a station to transfer easily through this gate.
