Sotetsu Bus began offering a contactless payment boarding service on three highway bus routes starting March 15.
This initiative is carried out in collaboration with Sumitomo Mitsui Card, JCB, LESHIP, and QUADRAC. It utilizes the public transportation solution “stera transit” provided by Sumitomo Mitsui Card.
The applicable routes are the Futamatagawa Station North Exit to Haneda Airport Line (only for departures from Futamatagawa Station North Exit), the Yokohama Station West Exit to Kawaguchiko Station Line (only for trips operated by Sotetsu Bus), and the Yokohama Station West Exit to Mitsui Outlet Park Yokohama Bayside Line.
Passengers can pay for their bus fares by tapping a contactless-enabled card or smartphone on the dedicated reader installed at the boarding and alighting doors inside the bus. Supported brands include Visa, JCB, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, and UnionPay. Mastercard will be added gradually.
