Barcoding Metro

You may have noticed that the timetables have barcodes on the front. Some, but not all pamphlets have barcodes on the back.

 

The timetables are usually straightforward. It's a 4 digit barcode with the first route number listed left padded with zeros. Even if the timetable has 6 routes, it'll still only list the first one (there's one that has 177, 577, and a whole bunch more). There are some exceptions.

 

The pamphlets are three character barcodes. Out of all the pamphlets available at Westlake Station, these were the only ones with barcodes on the rear (or front).
