概要	LRT（Light Rail Transit）の導入及び効率的運用を促進するため，信用乗車方式の採用が重要であるとの指摘があり，同方式を採用する場合には，不正乗車防止のため，現在，省令で定められている割増運賃の倍率を高く設定すべきとの主張もある．本稿は，この主張を巡る議論が適切に行われるよう，民事上の制裁である割増運賃制度の運用とその限界を示すとともに，割増運賃の倍率の見直しは，省令改正といえども，立法政策論として，多くの難しい論点をはらむ問題であることをわかりやすく説明することを目的とする．

Title	Self-service Barrier-free Fare Collection System and Extra Fare System
Keywords	Self-service barrier-free fare collection system, Extra fare system, Railway Service Law, Ministry Order on Railway Operation, Ministry Order on Tramway Operation

Abstract	It is pointed out that an adoption of self-service barrier-free fare collection system is quite effective with a view to promoting introduction of LRT (Light Rail Transit) and securing its efficient operation. It is also argued that, when self-service barrier-free fare collection system is adopted, the degree of extra fare currently stipulated in ministry orders should be raised. For the sake of encouraging appropriate discussion on this issue, this article elaborates the mechanism and limitation of application of extra fare which is a sanction based on civil law. In addition, this article intends to develop clear explanation that a raise of extra fare embraces many difficult points to be resolved as a legislative policy matter even though it requires only a revision of ministry orders.
