Voices from customers
[Women living in Kitahiroshima City]
"Since my workplace is Yubari, I use the Expressway for my daily commute. Until now, I was riding from Eniwa IC to Yubari IC, but since I built a wheel-thick smart IC, my commuting time is shortened and it is very convenient. It was."
[Bus company in Kitahiroshima City]
“For the bus, the company has a wheeled smart IC nearby, so it is very useful for emergency use.”
