How to ride P

Getting on

  1. Have your cash, ticket or pass ready and wait on the platform behind the white line.
  2. Let passengers get off by the front door first, then board by the rear door (rear in the direction of travel).
  3. As you board, take a numbered ticket (整理券 seiriken). Commuter-pass holders do not need one.
  4. With a commuter pass or coupon ticket you may also board by the front door once everyone has got off.

Getting off

  1. Get off by the front door, beside the driver.
  2. Put your fare together with your 整理券, or your ticket, into the fare box on the driver's side.
  3. If you use a commuter pass, always show it to the crew.
  4. Mobile tickets (QUICK RIDE app): show the ticket on your phone screen to the crew when you get off.
