Railway companies in the JR Group will launch the “Show Mobile Commuter Pass” service in spring 2027.
This service allows passengers to use commuter passes at stations in Japan that are not included in areas where transportation IC cards can be used, by showing the app screen of “Mobile Suica” or “Mobile ICOCA” to station staff.
Commuter passes for work and school can be purchased through the apps from home or elsewhere. In addition to being able to purchase commuter passes for sections that lie outside IC card coverage areas or that cross the boundary between IC and non-IC areas, passengers can use their commuter passes by tapping them on automatic ticket gates within IC card coverage areas.
