The Yokohama City Transportation Bureau has started supporting contactless payments with credit cards, etc., for riding the Yokohama Municipal Subway at all stations from December 4.
In collaboration with Sumitomo Mitsui Card, Visa Worldwide Japan, JCB, Omron Social Solutions, and QUADRAC, the Sumitomo Mitsui Card’s public transportation solution, ‘stera transit’, is being utilized.
Passengers can enter and exit by touching their contactless payment-enabled cards or smartphones to the newly installed special readers at the gates. This service is available at all 40 stations of the Yokohama Municipal Subway’s Blue Line and Green Line. Supported brands include Visa, JCB, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, and UnionPay. Mastercard will be added sequentially.
