PASPY
is a rechargeable contactless smart card ticketing system for public transit in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.〔#Karii, ''Introduction''〕 Its name is a portmanteau of ''pass'', ''happy'', and ''speedy''.〔PASPYについて, from the PASPY official site〕 Like other electronic fare collection systems in Japan, the card uses an RFID technology developed by Sony known as FeliCa, but was the first to employ an 8 KB capacity instead of the standard 4, owing to the need for more capacity to interoperate with the Hiroshima bus system.〔#Karii, ''8-KB FeliCa Card for Bus Commuter Pass''.〕 Uniquely, while the PASPY system accepts JR West's ICOCA card, the ICOCA system does not in return accept PASPY. ==History== The system was conceived as an alternative to the magnetic fare system in place since 1994, which by 2008 was already beginning to show signs of wear; machines were needing to be replaced and customers preferred IC cards over magnetic fare cards.〔#Karii, ''Background to PASPY Introduction''〕 The PASPY card launched with eight issuing companies, each with their own uniquely colored card, on January 26, 2008.〔#Karii, ''Background to PASPY Introduction''〕 On March 1, the PASPY system also began accepting JR West's ICOCA card, but without allowing PASPY to be used at ICOCA terminals. This was seen as an expedient way to avoid having to obtain agreement from the entire ICOCA service area to have local campaigns and promotional discounts to entice Hiroshima residents to use the PASPY card, while still allowing for travelers from outside the area to use the more widely accepted ICOCA card and visit Hiroshima without having to purchase a PASPY.〔#Karii, ''Introduction''〕
