Innovation in Ticketing Systems
We are conducting R&D on further improving the convenience of ticketing systems such as Suica card(prepaid e-money card), automatic ticket gates, and ticket vending machines. Our goal is a ticketing system befitting next-generation stations. We intend to accomplish that through efforts such as development for Suica cards with displays that can show information including fare balance and history of use, and basic research on automatic ticket gates that passengers can go through without touching a Suica card to the reader.
