PASPY

PASPY
PASPY cards.

PASPY (パスピー Pasupī?) is a rechargeable contactless smart card ticketing system for public transit in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. Its name is a portmanteau of pass, happy, and speedy. Like other electronic fare collection systems in Japan, the card uses RFID technology developed by Sony corporation known as FeliCa. Multiple operators introduced the system on January 26, 2008. On March 1, they also accepted ICOCA, a system already used by JR West in the area. JR West, however, does not accept PASPY.

Operators accepting PASPY

Those with card colors issue the cards, while others just accept them. As of March 2008, those in italics still have not introduced the card yet. All the operators will introduce the card before April 2010.
