Question

[edit]

The following comment was made by 143.195.110.18 (I simply removed it from the article itself):

?? Does the card hold the data, or just a key to the database? What about regular tickets ??

-- Hadal 06:36, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It holds a key to the database. There is even an IC card reader marketed for home users that can read the key and communicate via the Internet to retrieve the history and other stored fare information from the database. I think regular tickets hold the actual information - not sure. - Tangotango 00:50, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Official name

[edit]

The official name of JR East's Suica cards without commuter pass function are Suica iO card, not Suica IO card. See the press release about Mobile Suica.[1]--Tan90deg 10:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit in "Future of Suica"

[edit]

...March 2007, although non-active automatic readers began appearing in Tokyo Metro stations in mid-June 2006...with notices that "Suica cannot be used at present"

This may need better citation, but a quick search yielded nothing specific. I live in Yokohama and go to Tokyo several times a week, and today was the first time I noticed the readers, leading me to conclude that they were installed in the last week or so. After noticing them in Shirokane Takanawa, I kept an eye out for them during the rest of the day--I saw them in Roppongi and Hiro-o as well, although I didn't go through any other ticket gates so I can't say conclusively how widespread they are. At any rate, they've showed up sometime in the past week, so I thought it deserved to be noted here.

130 ¥

[edit]

Why is the minimum fare 130 yen? I've seen the minimum fare in the Kanto area range from 120 to 200 yen, and I think that Suica is useable on all of those lines. Can someone give reason that I don't know of as to why this is on there? If not, change it to simply minimum fare.

Okay, nevermind. It certainly only works on JR lines.theanphibian 11:31, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interchangeability

[edit]

There's a Japanese image that describes how Suica and other cards are interchangeable. How about adding this? --Shinkansen Fan (talk) 03:21, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this is particularly useful for english Wikipedia without a translation. Surely there must be some user who can provide one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.184.174 (talk) 17:10, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tried translating that image into English (omit some details. However, The basic meaning of it remains the same.).--ButuCC (talk) 07:26, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Since the name of the card in Japanese translates as "watermelon", why does the logo on the card feature a penguin? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.68.80.156 (talk) 06:36, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]

I propose Mobile Suica be merged into Suica#Mobile Suica. The Mobile Suica feature is limited to Osaifu-Keitai feature phones and can easily be explained in the context of the named section on Suica. I believe Suica is of a reasonable size that the merging of Mobile Suica will not cause the former to become too large. -- S.Hinakawa (talk) 19:54, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not "completely interchangeable"with Pasmo

[edit]

For single trips and payment, I think yes, but you can't put JR monthly (or multi-month) passes (bought at JR ticket machines) on a Pasmo. 133.32.216.87 (talk) 11:50, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
