Gourt Home::Gourt :: EasyCard
EasyCard (traditional Chinese: 悠遊卡) is a contactless smartcard system operated by Taipei Smart Card Corporation for use on the Taipei Rapid Transit System and on buses and other public transport services in Taipei since June 2002. It is explicitly modelled after Octopus cards in Hong Kong.
In addition to the EasyCard being used on the Taipei Metro and buses, the card is also accepted at public car parks adjacent to Metro stations and in other areas of Taipei.
The stored value on the card can be replenished at convenience stores around Taipei, such as 7-11.
The name Easycard was chosen in a public contest, where the general public was asked to propose names, in the end a name chosen by the management.
