Through collaboration with
JR East, passengers became able to use Pasmo interchangeably with Suica to ride nearly any railway, metro, or bus in the Tokyo metropolitan area in 2007. Transit systems/lines outside the Pasmo system but usable with the Pasmo card included JR East lines in the Kanto, Niigata and Sendai area, the
Tokyo Monorail,
Saitama New Urban Transit (New Shuttle),
Sendai Airport Transit,
Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit (Rinkai Line), and
JR Bus Kanto (local buses in the Mito area). In 2013, interoperation was extended country-wide, and Pasmo became usable across Japan as part of the
Nationwide Mutual Usage Service. In July 22, 2014,
Nintendo added support for Suica and Pasmo in the
Nintendo eShop through the
NFC function of the
Wii U GamePad and the
New Nintendo 3DS. The service was discontinued in January 18, 2022. ==See also==
