Children's manaca Outing Campaign: Partial Fare Refund via Mileage Points

Nagoya Railroad, Toyohashi Railroad, Meitetsu Bus, Gifu Joint Bus, Chita Joint Bus, and Meitetsu Eastern Transportation will implement the 'Children's manaca Outing Campaign,' returning a portion of fares paid with children's manaca cards as manaca mileage points.

In Aichi and Gifu Prefectures—the primary service areas of the Meitetsu Group—the share of public transportation such as railways in overall mobility remains lower compared to the Kanto and Kansai regions. To encourage families to use public transit from an early age, the group has continuously run point-reward campaigns during summer and winter holidays, receiving enthusiastic participation from children. Due to the positive reception of past initiatives, the group will once again launch this campaign during the peak travel season in 2026, covering Meitetsu Group's railway and bus services.

We encourage families to use Meitetsu Group's public transportation this summer vacation, enjoy time with children, and explore facilities and services along the lines. The Meitetsu Group remains committed to supporting children and families through family-friendly initiatives, contributing to the local community.
