T-Card
The T-card is a common fare card that can be used not only on Toei and Eidan subway lines, but also on any private railway line that is associated with the Passnet system.  There are three types of T-cards(Pass net) : ¥1,000, ¥3,000 and ¥5,000 cards
If you board a train with your T-card(Pass net),you must put the same card into the automatic ticket gate at your final destination.If the station where you last got off is not recorded, you cannot use the card for the next ride. If there is not enough money left in your T-card(Pass net) for one ride, you can buy a ticket putting the card into the vending ticket machine and then paying the shortage.
