JR East Begins Regular Operation of Dedicated Cargo Shinkansen Using Converted E3 Series on Tohoku Shinkansen
Osaka Metro (Osaka, Japan) is running the “Expo TDM Contactless Payment Campaign” from August 18 to October 13.
During off-peak hours (11:00 a.m. to 3:59 p.m.), rides paid with contactless payment methods such as credit cards receive an instant 30% cashback on the fare.
To qualify, you must enter or exit through an Osaka Metro station during the off-peak period; the campaign also applies even if your trip spans through-service sections with partner railways.
