{{nihongo|'''passca'''|パスカ|pasuka}} was a rechargeable contactless [[smart card]] ticketing system for public transport in [[Toyama, Toyama|Toyama]], [[Japan]], introduced by [[Toyama Light Rail]] on April 29, 2006 for use on the [[Toyamakō Line]]. Just like [[East Japan Railway Company|JR East]]'s [[Suica]] or [[West Japan Railway Company|JR West]]'s [[ICOCA]], the card uses [[Radio Frequency Identification|RFID]] technology developed by [[Sony]] corporation known as [[FeliCa]], but does not have integrated services with other cards.

New passca cards stopped being issued on October 31, 2019 in preparation for the merger of Toyama Light Rail with [[Toyama Chihō Railway]], which was completed on February 22, 2020. The card has been superseded by [[ecomyca]].
