Metro ticket onto an IC card 2023/8/31 09:24
Hello I want to get a Tokyo metro 72 hr pass.

I will be using lines that are both metro and non metro in the 1 journey.

I also have a regular passmo (from 2018).
is there a way to put the metro pass onto the IC card so that if I touch on at a gate that is non metro and then exit at a metro gate it can detect the 72 hr pass and deduct money accordingly? Or do I need to exit and hop back in again?

If yes, can I also do it on a digital passmo or equivalent digital IC card for my friends?

Example- Ifm going from Shinjuku gyoenmae station to Yokohama station and itfs a mix of subway and non subway trains.

and check the details.

Itfs not a Tokyo Metro pass, but a Tokyo Subway pass.

Tokyo Metro operates
nine of the thirteen subway lines in and around Tokyo.
The other four are Toei Subway lines
(Asakusa, Mita, Oedo and Shinjuku Lines).

Example- Ifm going from Shinjuku gyoenmae station to Yokohama station and itfs a mix of subway and non subway trains.

If you are outside the subway network for several hours,
this pass may not pay off.

I recommend you avoid weekday morning commuters' rushes.

Exactly - you have to leave one rail company and go to another company. That can either being leaving one station and entering a different station (of the other company), or using a transfer gate if one is available.
As a general comment, I have never considered those 72-hour passes good value for money as it restricts your travel in the city (ie, no JR trains) adding to travel time trying to make a few dollars of savings when you liited holiday time is much more valuable.
