The cabinet acknowledged that the implementing rules under the 2025 Joint Ticket Management Act missed their statutory deadline of 25 June 2026. The transport ministry has drafted 20 secondary laws and expects to finish all of them within 2026, after extending public consultation from 15 to 30 days and consulting transport operators on fare structures. For a small business, this means no change to fares or payment systems yet. Fare and revenue-sharing rules still to come could affect transport operators and businesses that rely on commuter traffic, so watch for final rules later in the year.
