If
you are to get on and off this Ooito line
local trains with 2
coarches, usually they are driven
without conductors. At stations where some
station staffs are there like Matsumoto,
Hotaka, Shinano-Oomachi and Hakuba etc,
all the doors are opened by the driver.
But at other stations where no station staffs
are there, you have to push a correct button
to open/close the door. The button is just
at the door pocket. You have to get on this
train at the third door of the first coarch
and get off at the first door that is just
behind the control room. Drivers would receive
your ticket or check your rail pass when
you get off. Northern part of Ooito line
from Minami-Otari to Itoigawa, always a
diesel coarch without conductors is in service.
