TOKYO: Eight railway operators in the Tokyo metropolitan area plan to switch from the current magnetic paper train tickets to those printed with a QR code from around the end of fiscal 2026, the companies announced.
The new tickets will be printed with the name of the station where a passenger is boarding, the date, and the fare, along with a QR code that contains such information.
