The protagonist reading on the train in Persona 5. (Japanese)

The train is a mechanic in the series.

Overview

Persona 5 / Royal

Traveling

The train system allows the protagonist to travel around numerous locations in Tokyo. He will have to pay a small fee each time he switches between a different area outside of Yongen-Jaya, Shibuya and Aoyama-Itchome due to the limitations of his transit pass.

If protagonist is unable to pay the train fee to return back home at Yongen-Jaya, Morgana will use his secret savings to help him pay the needed amount to travel.

Free Seats

"Ah, we were able to grab a seat for ourselves! And you have a book you haven't finished yet...! Now, this is nice. Why don't you read that book until we get there?"

—Morgana, Persona 5

On certain days, the protagonist will be able to take a free seat on his commute to school. On these occasions, he'll be able to read a book. These events serve as an additional time slot, separate from the usual Daytime or Evening periods. The dates the protagonist takes a seat differ between Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal.

The ability to find free seats is first demonstrated on April 16th, but the protagonist cannot read at that time.

Trivia

• In early promotional material for Persona 5, the protagonist was presented to read in the train on 4/20, which was impossible in the final release. However, coincidentally, the protagonist gets the opportunity to read on 4/20 in Persona 5 Royal.
