IC e-card
Script error: No such module "Nihongo". 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. IC e-card was the first smart card system by Japanese transportation operators with Osaifu-Keitai mobile payment service (Mobile FeliCa), preceding that of Mobile Suica.
ICOCA was introduced on all Iyotetsu routes and services on March 18, 2025. IC e-card sales ended the same day, while recharging capabilities ended the following month. The card will remain usable on the Iyotetsu network until September 30, 2025, after which it will be fully supplanted by JR West's ICOCA and a digital ticketing system known as MICAN App.[1]
