Hiroshima Electric Railway has sequentially started the service of the new ticketing system ‘MOBIRY DAYS’ from July 20th.
‘MOBIRY DAYS’ is a new service that allows passengers to board by presenting a QR code displayed on their smartphone or a dedicated IC card at the time of boarding and alighting. Users register with a dedicated app and pay by charging with a credit card, bank account transfer, or cash. A dedicated IC card can be applied for through the app or website and received by mail or at a counter. It is sold at 500 yen (tax included) per card, limited to one card per user.
From July 20th, the service was available for Hiroshima Electric Railway’s buses on the Hiroshima to Miyoshi, Shobara, and Tojo lines, excluding some lines operated by Bihoku Transportation, and some bus-specific commuter passes. It will be expanded to include all lines of Hiroshima Electric Railway’s trains and buses, some lines excluding from Geiyo Bus, all lines of Bon Bus, train-specific commuter passes, Miyajima Line Train connecting commuter pass + entire city train line commuter pass, Silver Pass train line commuter pass, and some bus-specific commuter passes from September 7th.
The transportation IC card ‘PASPY’ will end its service on November 30th with Hiroshima Rapid Transit, and on March 29th, 2025, with other bus, train, ferry, and cable car operators.
