The One Regional Card for All (ORCA Card) is soon to be rolled out regionally, and will provide customers with the opportunity to pre-pay for all of their transit, including bus, rail and ferry, enabling quicker and easier travel. This technology has earned the nick-name "smart card," and it will also store all of the individual-specific travel information in a central database.
