Abstract	The objective of this study is to investigate issues and necessary measures for introducing a flexible fare system into urban railways in Japan. Most important issue is how to improve the user benefit and company's profit by introducing this fare system, for example family discount fare, weekend fare and so on. The case of London underground, which is considered to be a pioneer in adopting such a system, is reviewed in this study in order to get useful insights for applying such system to Japanese urban railways. The case study demonstrated that the flexible fare system is effective in improving user's benefit and social benefit but it may result in a decrease in company's profit. This study therefore make a suggestion to introduce the flexible fare system in Japan together with some others support measures to provide incentives to operator, such as provision of public subsidy based on social benefit, not to cause any loss in company's profit.
