JR Central will launch a new service on October 4 allowing passengers to book Tokaido, Sanyo, and Kyushu Shinkansen tickets through LINE without registering a credit card. The service, called “LINE kara EX,” accepts PayPay and offers contactless boarding via IC cards or QR codes. It targets occasional travelers who prefer simpler booking methods and builds on the existing EX reservation system. Source: JR Kyushu
