JR Suica Card Just Got Better
(:JR Suica Card Just Got Better:)
Author: Jerrold Litwinenko, Issue: April 2004, Topic: Trains
For all of you that use the train on a regular basis, the Suica card just got better. Up until now you could preload the card (which is good for travel on all JR East lines) and avoid the hassle of buying tickets, adjusting fares, and looking for change. Now you can also use it to buy food in station restaurants and convenience stores.

The Suica Card (which stands for Super Urban Intelligent CArd, by the way) looks like this (see above) and you can find out more on the (Japanese only) website:
