Last Updated: January 13th, 2024By Categories: How to use the trainTags: ,


Most train stations have coin lockers.
Ask the station attendant at a simple station that does not have coin lockers. Then you may receive unexpected kindness.

Most of the coin lockers at train stations are the same. You can use your fingerprint instead of your key to store and retrieve your luggage. A receipt with a printed password is provided in case there is an error in the fingerprint recognition when searching. Therefore, if you throw away or lose your receipt, your luggage may be stolen, so be sure to keep it until you find it.
