This has made the Suica card an extremely convenient payment tool, especially as users can also enjoy discounts compared to the cash payment method.

Currently, there are 3 popular types of Suica cards, including Suica Teikiken, My suica and a normal Suica card. Different from the normal Suica card, the Suica Teikiken card works like a monthly bus ticket and it is often used by students when going to school. Therefore, to be able to use this card, students need to get confirmation from the school they are attending.

Moreover, Suica has a Suica available on mobile phones called Mobile Suica, which allows users to use Suica card just by their smartphones.
