Nagasaki Smart Card
Nagasaki Smart Card (長崎スマートカード) was a contactless smart card system used in Nagasaki, Japan. Its operators were the Nagasaki Electric Tramway and six bus companies, namely, Nagasaki Bus, Nagasaki Prefectural Bus, Saihi Bus, Saikai Kōtsū, Sasebo Municipal Bus, and Shimatetsu Bus. The system used Sony FeliCa technology that is standard for IC cards across Japan, e.g. in JR East's Suica. The system was introduced on January 21, 2002, initially for bus lines only. As of December 2005, 320,000 cards had been issued. Tram lines of Nagasaki Electric Tramway began support for the card on March 20, 2008. The card was discontinued on June 30, 2020, with companies transitioning to using either the nagasaki nimoca or N+Tcard.
