iPASS was a transportation ticket originally issued by the Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation (KRTC). It was first issued in December, 2007, and was officially launched in March, 2008 after the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line started its operation. The scope of iPASS use includes: Kaohsiung MRT, buses in Western Taiwan, Taiwan Railway, Kaohsiung public bikes, Tainan public bikes, the Love Boat, ferries and parking lots. Passed down on the KRTC’s past experience of issuance as well as its maintenance and operation techniques, iPASS Corporation will continue not only to cooperate with more transportation system companies, but also to include multi-functional payment business (small transactions). In addition, it will continue to integrate the applications of different tickets, and extend its usage scope to more diversified services, such as making small transactions in authorized stores and paying for parking fees, tourist and show tickets, government charges and fees as well as medical bills, in hopes of dramatically increasing the convenience and practicability of the card.
