SECTION 4. PROMOTlNG INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Efforts are being made to promote the so called EDI which carries out the exchange
of transaction data such as estimates, ordering, delivery, payment, etc. between
computers as electronic data. Moreover, the tourist information systems utilizing
new media and transportation pass cards such as the stored fare system (a card
system which deducts the train fare automatically from the card at the ticket
gate) are being considered. (Fig 49)
