In rail transport, paid area is a dedicated "inner" zone in the railway station which sealed by barriers. Passengers are only allowed to enter or exit through ticket gate. Paid area usually exists in rapid transit railway station for separating the train platform from station exit, assuring a passenger has paid or prepaid before reaching the platform and using any transport service. Such design requires a well organized railway station layout.
