In addition, limousine vehicles have high ventilation performance even when the windows are closed.

On the 109 line "Limited Express" will conduct a cashless payment demonstration test. In addition to the conventional transportation IC card, "Visa touch payment" is available.

It is not possible to pay the fare in cash. Please prepare a transportation IC card or a card compatible with Visa touch payment in advance.
It is not possible to charge the transportation IC card by cash. I'd like to charge before boarding.

※Mobile PASMO and Apple Pay PASMO can be charged anytime, anywhere from your mobile device.
