Summary: SUICA and related Smart-Cards
SUICA is a IC-card system developed and owned by Japan’s JR-East railway company, and based on SONY’s FELICA wireless non-contact multi-application IC-card technology.
SUICA was developed primarily to replace mechanical ticket gates (which have many moving parts and are expensive to maintain) which are reaching their end of life and to reduce cash handling costs.
JR East is the world’s largest passenger railway company with YEN 2635 Billion (US$ 27.7 Billion) in sales, of which 67.5% (YEN 1778 Billion, US$ 18.7 billion) is for railway transportation. Therefore the SUICA system in the mid to long term targets an annual transaction volume of US$ 18 billion within JR-East plus e-commerce transactions plus usage by other railway companies as a “white label” contactless ticketing solution.
SUICA and related contactless payment system, including mobile phone based variants are on the way to become the world’s largest contactless payment system

What is the Meaning of “SUICA”?
SUICA is one of the foundations for JR-East’s business (the main business is running a very profitable railway business in the north-east of Japan, including Tokyo)
JR-East says that SUICA stands for: S uper U rban I ntelligent Ca rd
In Japanese language “suisui” is an adverb meaning: smoothly, unhindered, therefore “sui” in “SUICA” reminds of moving smoothly
(In Japanese language “suica” means “water melon”, Japanese people are fond of eating cooled water melons “suica” during the hot summer season)

Today the majority of transportation companies in Japan use Felica based smart cards for contactless ticketing and many are directly compatible with JR-East’s SUICA, which is the dominating player in this field
