Restore AllHide UnarchivedThey’re being phased out pretty quickly for local and regional intercity routes but I don’t see them going away for Shinkansen for a few years at least. The conditions that make it possible to phase them out on shorter haul routes (introducing equivalent discounts or bonuses credited to your transit pass point balance like JR East’s “repeat ride bonus”) don’t exist for Shinkansen yet.
