From the Mainichi, it seems that with contracts up for renewal, ridership still down since COVID, and percentage of travelers using IC Cards being a minority; several regions are/will be ditching the IC Cards, especially rural ones.

Kumamoto Electric Railway and Kumamoto Bus are ditching them as early as next month. And Hiroshima's street cars and buses will stop using the Paspy IC cards next March. On the plus side, the replacement seems to be contactless credit card payments.
