IC e-card

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IC e-card (ICい～カード, Aishī ī-kādo^?) is a rechargeable contactless smart card ticketing system for public transport by Iyo Railway (Iyotetsu) in Matsuyama, Japan. The card was introduced from August 23, 2005, succeeding the previous e-card, a magnetic prepaid card. This is the first smart card system by Japanese transportation operators with a mobile payment service (Mobile FeliCa), preceeding that of Mobile Suica.
