JR Kyushu has started selling a new all-you-can-ride ticket for elementary school kids traveling with their grandparents. Good for weekends and holidays in September and October, the ticket costs ¥2,000 and can be purchased as long as the accompanying grandparent buys an “Active 65” all-you-can-ride pass for seniors aged 65 and over. With about 50,000 sold in fiscal 2013 alone, Active 65 passes have proven very popular. JR Kyushu hopes to create more railroad fans by offering the new travel-with-grandparents ticket for elementary school-aged children. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun 8/14
