Is it better to get Suica or PASMO?

They work exactly the same, and in my time of living in Tokyo and using a Pasmo I never had any limitation. The only limitation you might encounter, but not public transportation related, is that some vending machines may accept one and not the other, but that would be relevant only if you are out of cash.


How do I check my Suica balance?

You can check your balance (the amount left of the money you added by charging) at ticket vending machines, multifunctional ticket vending machines and charging machines in the Suica area. Your balance is also displayed on the ticket gate when you pass through.


How do I reactivate my Suica card?

Inactive cards can be re-activated by simply toping it up. And secondly, if ever you lose it, you can get a replacement at most train stations. Visit the Suica customer service counter or ticket machine and inform the staff that you've lost your card.


Can Suica go negative?

There is no such thing as a negative balance. If the fare exceeds your balance, and you try to pass a ticket gate, the gate will close and sound an alarm.


Can two people share a Suica?

Each person needs one. Pasmo/Suica is read when touching the IC card reader upon entering and exiting a gate, and the correct fare is deducted from the card. The same card cannot be read entering twice at the same station. Thank you for the quick response.
