Is the Osaka Metro & Osaka City Bus Pass worth it?
- You want your Osaka transport sorted before the trip: the 1-day pass pays off after five rides at ¥240 (¥1,200), or four at ¥290 (¥1,160), against ¥1,000.
- You ride on two days and want one ticket bought ahead: the 2-day pass is ¥1,700, against ¥2,000 for two 1-day passes.
- You are already in Osaka: the Enjoy Eco Card from any subway ticket machine covers the same subway and buses for ¥820 on weekdays and ¥620 on weekends and holidays.
- Two Enjoy Eco Cards (¥1,640 on weekdays, ¥1,240 on weekends) also cost less than the 2-day pass.
- Your days are mostly on JR, Nankai, Hankyu, Keihan or Kintetsu, which the pass does not cover.
Subway fares run from ¥190 to ¥390 by distance; city buses are ¥210.
