Tranpass

Tranpass (トランパス, Toranpasu^?) was the name of a magnetic fare card that was able to be used with many trains and buses running in Nagoya and its suburbs, especially trains and buses operated by Nagoya City and Nagoya Railroad, commonly known as Meitetsu. The Nagoya Municipal Subway sold magnetic fare cards called Yurica cards, and Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) sold magnetic fare cards known as SF Panorama cards, but were usually Tranpass-compatible and in such cases were also Tranpass cards and therefore could be used on any transportation system that accepted Tranpass cards. Starting on February 11, 2011, another magnetic fare card system called Manaca supplemented and eventually replaced Tranpass.

Tranpass cards could be used in all Nagoya Municipal Subway lines, all Nagoya City buses, nearly all stations in Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu), some buses operated by Meitetsu, all of the Aonami Line, and all of the Linimo Line. Within the Nagoya area, Tranpass was able to be used to pay for nearly any public transportation except for JR Central railway stations or Kintetsu stations, which used a different magnetic fare card system, namely TOICA, or Suica in the case of JR Central and PiTaPa in the case of Kintetsu. Unlike other magnetic fare card systems in Japan like TOICA, however, Tranpass coul only be used to pay transportation fare, and could not be used in place of cash at other retail shops like convenience stores or restaurants.

The cards were sold at ticket machines near station gates, and generally contained more money for fare than the price of the card in Japanese yen. For example, a card costing 5,000 yen would pay for 5,600 yen's worth of fare. Prices ranged from under 1,000 yen for cards from Nagoya Subway to cards costing 5,000 yen.
