A variety of new types of convenient, user-friendly commercial facilities are being developed in stations for our customers such as Echika, Echika fit and Metro pia, as well as other buildings directly connected to the stations such as Esola IKEBUKURO.
There are also METRO'S kiosks, automatic vending machines, coin lockers and ATMs on the station premises. In addition, we are promoting the introduction of PASMO electronic money in the above commercial facilities and kiosks, and are also issuing credit cards equipped with PASMO functions.
