The &#8220;Excel Pass My Seat&#8221; service will be available starting March 1 on routes such as Hakata to Oita. For an additional monthly fee of \u00a54,900 to \u00a59,800, passholders can reserve seats in Green or standard reserved cars, depending on the train.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initiative aims to ease congestion in non-reserved cars during peak commute times and provide greater convenience for regular passengers.
