Hareca

Hareca (ハレカ, Hareka) is a rechargeable contactless smart card ticketing system for public transport in Okayama, Japan, introduced by Okayama Electric Tramway (Okaden), Ryōbi Bus, and Shimotsui Dentetsu (Shimoden), from October 1, 2006.

As of October 2006, the card is usable for all the tramway lines by Okayama Electric Tramway, as well as 55 bus lines by the three operators for Okayama, Kurashiki, and Tamano.

Within autumn, 2007, the card will be usable for all the bus lines by the operators.

There also is a plan to introduce the card to other bus operators in Okayama.

However, Hareca cannot be used in PiTaPa-accepting area, as the former has its unique function, such as premium service (discounts).
