PASPY
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 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. Uniquely, while the PASPY system accepts numerous IC cards from across Japan, PASPY cards cannot be used on in other areas.

The PASPY card launched with eight issuing companies, each with their own uniquely colored card, on January 26, 2008. On March 1, the PASPY system also began ...
