IC cards and payment in detail
The local card nolbé (a Suica-compatible card) and the nationwide interoperable IC cards work on the whole line Chūō-Maebashi–Nishi-Kiryū. Touch in and out; on board, nolbé/IC cards can be charged with notes. If your balance is short, charge it or pay the shortfall in cash (cash fare applies). For several people on one card, tell the crew before touching. P
