Ueda Electric Railway Introduces New Fare Collection System and Fare Box
Ueda Electric Railway introduced a new fare collection system and a new type of fare box from November 11.
QR code ticket vending machines have been installed at Ueda, Akasaka-mae, Daigaku-mae, Shimonogo, and Bessho Onsen stations, allowing passengers to board by scanning their tickets at station and on-board QR code readers. A dedicated passage was newly established at Ueda Station’s ticket gate. Moreover, ticket vending machines at Ueda, Shimonogo, and Bessho Onsen stations now accept cashless payments (credit cards, transportation IC cards, nanaco, WAON, etc.).
With the new fare boxes, tickets printed with barcodes are inserted, displaying the fare for the travel section on a monitor. After payment, change is automatically dispensed. These are installed inside trains and at Ueda Station’s ticket gate.
