JR East to Implement One-Man Operation in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, Starting Next Spring on the Joban and Nambu Lines
JR West and GiX are conducting the “Start Your Season Ticket with Apple Pay’s ICOCA Now! Campaign” from March 3 to May 31.
Those who newly issue Apple Pay’s ICOCA or incorporate an ICOCA card and purchase a season ticket for the first time are eligible to receive 1,000 WESTER points (for charging only). Participants must select the campaign from the “O-toku ni GO!” page in the WESTER app and acquire all the stamps earned by purchasing a season ticket. Points will be awarded around late June.
Additionally, JR West is running another campaign where purchasing a mobile ICOCA season ticket with a J-WEST card will grant up to 6% cashback, which is twice the normal rate.
