The Pendlerpass (lit. commuter's pass) is a type of a contactless smart card made by the Transportministerium exclusively for use on all modes of Alliaronian public transportation. It was created in 2019 under the behest of the Transportation Rehabilitation Act of 2018; which primarily targeted on deprecating the practice of cash payments and integrating innovative technologies. Negotiations with Goyanes resulted in integration with the Gojan ik-kort network upon its release, allowing Alliaronian commuters to use their Pendlerpasses on the Høyhastikettog.
The Pendlerpasses are nationalised cards, and all cards are subject within the jurisdiction of Alliaronian laws of the Transportministerium. However, with its integration on the Gojan ik-kort network, the cards have been in circulation all around the Western Gothis area. The cards are officially sold on vending machines and convenience stores in both Alliaronia and Goyanes, and as such are valid for public transport use in both countries. Integration within the Grenseverein area has been also considered. (See more...)
