Nishi-Nippon Railroad to Conduct Demonstration Operation of ‘Completely Cashless Buses’ on Two Routes
Nishi-Nippon Railroad will conduct a demonstration operation of ‘Completely Cashless Buses’ from December 3rd to February 28th, 2025.
The targeted routes are the Hakata Station to Fukuoka Airport International Terminal line, and the Fukuoka BRT covering the Tenjin, Hakata Station, and Waterfront areas. The number of scheduled services is 157 per day. Payment methods include transportation IC cards, touch payments with credit cards, SUNQ Pass, and other types of tickets. To inform passengers that these routes are ‘completely cashless,’ stickers will be displayed at the entrance of the buses and instructions will be shown on the bus side LED direction signs.
Furthermore, from December 3rd, 2025, to January 31st, 2025, a ‘nimoca Point Grant Campaign’ will be conducted. Riding on the completely cashless target routes with nimoca will earn 5% of the fare in nimoca points. Other transportation IC cards are not eligible for this campaign. Points will be awarded about two weeks after the ride.
