Nankai Electric Railway will end sales of magnetic commuter passes and other magnetic tickets on March 31, 2027.
The change will apply to magnetic commuter passes valid solely on Nankai lines, school commuter passes for practical training, and discounted commuter passes for passengers with disabilities. From April 1, 2027, the company will consolidate these into IC commuter passes. Sales of Nankai Electric Railway–Hankai Tramway connecting commuter passes will also end, and the current discount program of 550 yen for commuters and 270 yen for students will be abolished. Sales of Hankai Tramway commuter passes at ticket vending machines at Sumiyoshi-taisha Station will also end. Magnetic commuter passes purchased by the final sales date may be used until the end of their validity period.
In addition, sales of round-trip tickets and discounted regular tickets for students traveling on sections exceeding 100 kilometers will end.
Nankai Electric Railway aims to phase out magnetic tickets by fiscal 2030, while expanding services using digital technology and promoting cashless payments.
