Handling of IC amount-type commuter passes due to fare revisions
Thank you for using Kanetsu Kotsu Bus every time.
We are planning to revise the fare on October 2023, 10, and the commuter pass fare will also be changed.
Please note that the handling of existing IC commuter passes after the fare revision is as follows.
〇IC commuter pass
As long as it is within the validity period, it can be used continuously even after the fare revision.If you use the same section after the revision date (within the validity period), you will need to pay the difference in fare., and the fare difference will be automatically calculated from the charge balance.
Example: If a 300-yen section is revised to a 320-yen section, 20 yen will be automatically deducted from the charge balance after the fare revision date.
*The amount of revision from the current fare to the new fare is not uniform and varies depending on the section.
* A prescribed fee will be charged for refunds.
