Subsequently, Kintetsu finally joined the association as it discontinued the restriction of setting a certain route (except for Kintetsu Tawara Main Line) for each ticket, two-day validity for long-distance tickets and the stopover system; concurrently, Surutto KANSAI abolished the condition of having automatic ticket machines at all stations.
この後、近鉄は近鉄田原本線利用時を除く乗車券の経路指定や長距離乗車券の2日間有効制度、途中下車制度を廃止し、スルッとKANSAI側も自動改札機全駅設置を条件とせず、近鉄の加盟が実現した。
