The Sapporo City Transportation Bureau and five other companies and bureaus will start a maximum fare service on March 26 for credit card users of the Sapporo Municipal Subway. The service is available to credit, debit, and prepaid cards, as well as smartphones with the cards installed.
When using a credit card to ride the city subway, the fare is capped at 830 yen (weekdays) or 520 yen (weekends, national holidays, and year-end and New Year holidays), and no further charges are incurred. After the limit is reached, the rider is automatically entitled to unlimited rides.
The aim is to promote cashless and reduce the number of magnetic tickets (one-day passes, Donichika Kip, etc.), and only adult fares are eligible for credit card rides. Even if the card numbers are the same, if the media (plastic card, smart phone, smart watch, etc.) are different, they will not be combined.
