IC cards and payment in detail

PiTaPa (post-paid, billed later; Kobe New Transit gives a monthly usage discount on PiTaPa) and ICOCA (sold at the red ticket machines at every station; Mobile ICOCA and ICOCA in Apple Pay also work) are accepted on both the Port Liner and the Rokko Liner. The operator also links to the nationwide IC card mutual-use guide from its "other IC cards" page, but that page lists the other cards only as an image, so cards such as Suica are not confirmed in text here. ICOCA users can register their card at a ticket machine for a monthly cash-back (charge rebate) scheme. P
