Re: [76attendees] Purpose of blue/grey "PASPY" card (for social event?)

Hi,

You can refer the station map and the usage of the tram (street car)
operating by Hiroden railway company in English and Hangeul:
  http://www.hiroden.co.jp/train/rosenzu/streetcar_map.htm
    - Street car route map
    - How to transfer, First/last streetcar schedule and Travel time etc...

There are some related sites about the tram/bus in Hiroshima,
but no definitive information...

  http://vehicle34.hp.infoseek.co.jp/bus/aboutbus.html (in Japanese)

Thank you.
