Suggestion For Long Distance Commuting By Shinkansen


The author used to be commuting between Kyoto and Himeji from 1999 to 2003 as a college student,
and I accumulated valuable know-how on methods of cost-cutting, or time management.
This experience was developed my skills on time management, and it helps me many time in my life as a researcher and an engineer...
This is suggestion for you. Have a nice time for your life!


Summary


  1. We can reduce the cost and time taken for commuting, if you use suitably JR conventional line and new line (as we say, "Shinkansen").
  2. Basically, we can ride on Shinkansen with your electromagnet JR commuter ticket of conventional line and superexpress ticket.
  3. At the same way, we can ride on (limited) express train of conventional line with your electromagnet JR commuter ticket of conventional line and (limited) express ticket, basically.
  4. Shinkansen coupons for commuter ticket of conventional line is reasonable.
  5. In general, you should not transfer to other train company from the view point of reducing cost. Second or next company's fare contains expensive base fare.

Now, that is outline.
