Odakyu Electric Railway upgrades ticket purchase website

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- Odakyu Electric Railway Co Ltd has upgraded its ticket purchase website, offering discounted tickets including “Hakone Freepass” and “Limited Express Romancecar” tickets respectively and allowing passengers to use them in traditional and simplified Chinese.

“The browser-based website allows passengers to purchase Odakyu tickets on their smartphones without downloading a dedicated app by which, passengers can buy tickets wherever and at any time.

“They can board a train and bus by showing digital tickets on their smartphones to attendants or hold a 2D code on a dedicated device without exchanging them for printed tickets,” it said in a statement.

The Tokyo-based railway company said Digital Hakone Freepass allowed unlimited rides on eight transportation services in the Hakone area.

It said the pass included a round-trip discount ticket for the Odakyu Line (between each passenger’s starting station and Odawara Station).

“At the same time, Digital Enoshima-Kamakura Freepass also allows unlimited rides on the Odakyu Line in the Enoshima-Kamakura areas (between Fujisawa Station and Katase-Enoshima Station) and the Enoden (Enoshima Electric Railway),” it said.

It said as for Limited Express Romancecar, all seats are reserved, whilst the Enoden 1-day pass ticket “Noriorikun” (digital version) allowed unlimited rides on the Enoden.

It added that tickets could be purchased via the Odakyu Electric Railway official website on a smartphone and tapping the “purchase” button to transition to the ticket purchase website.
