@armanga

You have to pass your suica card in the machine on the platform (near the position where the green cars stop), buy a green-car "ticket" (as a data in your card) with the machine, and you can use the green car.

You can sit on any seats you like in the green car. As soon as you get to your seat, you have to touch the card reader on the ceiling, which makes the attendant notice that the person on your seat has valid "ticket", then the attendant will not come to check your ticket.

TIP: Your Suica card doesn't have to be used on just trains and subways. You can use them at grocery stores and at ending machines. I know from experience :D Check on the site or something if you want to know what else to use it for. Or google it.

@idkyoo

it's doposit system

you can charge only 20,000yen＝180$(1$＝80yen)

if you lost Suica, you can stop using your Suica

if you paid 500 yen, you can reissue new Suica with same balance

ofcource, when you find lost Suica, you can regain this 500 yen

my pasmo (like Suica) is second cord…so this system is very useful

[idkyoo]

what happens if yours get stolen or lost? looks like anybody who gets their hands on it can use it just like that with no verifications whatsoever. is there is limit on how much you can put on it each day?

"except with the oyster card you have to take it out the wallet"

You must have a thick wallet!, i have my oyster card, suica and mango IC cards all in my wallet and never have to remove them - apart from when i'm topping my suica up.

Last i heard beside ihaving a tram for the major parts, denver parker DTC etc etc there making them connect from that point to go to like fort collins some ski resorts even Grand junction (4-5 car trip going about 75-80 MPH)
