  • Review of Operations >> Suica [PDF/1.03MB]
    SUICA Suica In light of the wide-ranging development potential of IC cards, JR East has examined the possibilities of IC cards and developed applications for them in railway operations since its establishment in 1987. On November 18, 2001, JR East introduced Suica as a next-generation fare collection system based on IC cards. To capitalize on the significant potential of Suica, JR East expanded the IC card’s functions from passenger tickets to shopping by beginning Suica electronic money services on March 22, 2004. Usage of Suica electronic money has risen dramatically because of the convenience it affords—enabling customers to ride trains, shop in stations or affiliated stores, and buy items from automatic vending machines. Increasing Mutual Use with Various Modes of Transportation Topics Since launching Suica in November 2001, JR East has extended the usability of the IC card within the JR East service area and established Review of Operations mutual use with West Japan Railway Company’s ICOCA IC card and the IC cards of other transportation companies. From March 18, 2007, JR East began mutual use between Suica and PASMO, which is an IC card issued by other railway operators and bus service operators in the Tokyo metro- politan area. Subsequently, on March 29, 2008, the start of mutual use with Central Japan Railway Company’s TOICA added the Tokai area to existing mutual use in the Kinki region, the Okayama area, and Hiroshima area. Plans call for the start of mutual use with Hokkaido Railway Compa- ny’s Kitaca in spring 2009 and with Kyushu Railway Company’s SUGOCA, Nishi-Nippon Railroad’s nimoca, and Fukuoka Transportation Bureau’s Suica service area HAYAKAKEN in spring 2010.
