Now Kumamoto has launched a new transportation payment tool "Kumamon no IC Card"! 🎉
The existing transportation IC cards (including Suica, PASMO, ICOCA, etc.) can no longer be used to ride Kumamoto's trams, city buses, and trains .
💡What are the options for transportation in Kumamoto City?
Currently you can choose:
✔ Cash Payment
✔ Tickets
✔ kumamon no IC card
It is expected that credit card contactless payment will be introduced in March 2025 !
Special reminder: The above payment methods can be used by one person to pay for multiple people ! For example, if you use a credit card to pay for yourself, a friend or a child, you only need to inform the driver in advance, which is super convenient~ 👏
