What's covered

  • Nishitetsu route buses within Fukuoka City, as often as you like
  • The direct bus between Fukuoka Airport International Terminal and Hakata Station
  • One primary school child free with each adult pass holder

How to use it

The paper pass is a scratch card: scratch off the date you want to use it, before the expiry date printed on it. Take a numbered ticket when you get on. When you get off, put the numbered ticket in the fare box and show the pass to the driver. If you scratch the wrong date, an unused pass can be exchanged at a ticket counter.

The digital passes are cheaper and are bought in the my route app. Tap to start the pass when you want to use it; it then runs for 6 or 24 hours. You can buy up to two of each type at a time.

If you ride past the city boundary, pay the fare from the boundary stop to where you get off.

Before you buy

Anyone can buy it. The paper pass is sold at Nishitetsu Tenjin Highway Bus Terminal, Hakata Bus Terminal, Fukuoka Airport bus terminal, commuter pass offices and bus offices, but not on the bus.

Child fares are for ages 6 to 11. Each adult with the pass can bring one primary school child for free, and up to two children aged 1 to 5 ride free with each passenger.

Refunds: an unused paper pass can be refunded at a ticket counter for a fee, but not after its expiry date or once two or more dates are scratched. An unused digital pass can be refunded in the app for ¥110 each.
