This reminds me; when we were moving out of our apartment, we took our
cat in a carrying case onto the monorail. At the exit, the ticket
taker said (in English) "You must pay anuzzah Y150". (I answered him in 
German and he didn't push the issue.)

So, it seems that cats count for 1/2 a child on the monorail at least.
