Tickets can be purchased from ticket vending machines in stations. An integrated ticketing system, Tranpass, was initially available, which could also be used at all municipal subway stations and for other connected transportations systems such as Meitetsu lines. On February 11, 2011, a magnetic fare card called Manaca was introduced to replace Tranpass.
