11 february 2019 - Nagasaki (Nagasaki Prefecture), Aburayamachi, near Sofukuji terminus (長崎県長崎市油屋町), National Route 324. The entire Nagasaki tram fleet is based on these single-unit bi-directional mid-to-high-floor cars. Each one is equipped with two doors - the middle/back door for entering and the front door for getting off (you know the drill by now, don`t you?). The fare is paid when getting off, and a single adult is 120 yen (€0.95) - as far as I know that makes it the cheapest tram fare in Japan. There`s also a day pass for 500 yen, which is not available in the cars themselves. And now, a bit of disappointment - Nagasaki does not accept the common nation-wide IC cards, such as Pasmo or Suica, yet. There is a card indeed, however it`s local, accepted only around Nagasaki. This makes it the second city in Japan where I was forced to take out hard currency to travel around the city...Nagasaki (Pref. Nagasaki), Aburayamachi, niedaleko przystanku końcowego Sofukuji (長崎県長崎市油屋町), DK 324 (OSM głupoty plecie tutaj). Cała flota tramwajowa w Nagasaki składa się z takich jednoczłonowych dwukierunkowych tramwajów średnio- lub wysokopodłogowych. Każdy wagon jest wyposażony w dwa wejścia - środkowo-tylne dla wsiadających, przednie dla wysiadających (znacie już pewnie układankę, nie?). Opłata jest uiszczana przy wyjściu, i wynosi 120 jenów (4 zł) - najtańszy z tego co mi wiadomo bilet tramwajowy w kraju. Można nabyć też bilet dzienny za 500 jenów, ale nie jest on dostępny w samych wagonach. No i teraz niestety łyżka dziegciu w beczce miodu - Nagasaki jeszcze nie przyjmuje ogólnokrajowych kart elektronicznych jak np. Pasmo czy Suica. Karta owszem, jest, ale tylko lokalna, akceptowana tylko w okolicach Nagasaki. Było więc to drugie dotychczas miasto w kraju gdzie w ruchu miejskim byłem zmuszony wyciągnąć walutę.Nagasaki (Nagasaki Prefecture), Aburayamachi, near Sofukuji terminus (長崎県長崎市油屋町), National Route 324.
