Transport cards to link nationwide
Print Edition
PEOPLE will be able to use their public transport cards to travel between cities across China as the country will complete cross-province connection for the cards in one or two years, Shanghai Daily learned at an information technology fair yesterday.
Presently, the transport card systems are not linked nationwide, which means people can’t take Beijing’s subway lines with cards issued by Shanghai.
By the end of May, over 41 cities, including Beijing, Tianjin, Chongqing, Nanjing and Xiamen, had been connected.
A total of 196 cities nationwide, including Shanghai, have plans to connect, Shen Jingyi, strategic development engineer at the China Transport Telecommunications & Information Center, a subsidiary under the Ministry of Transport, said during the Mobile World Congress Shanghai.
“In one or two years, China will have one national transport network with next-generation cards,” Shen said.
Shanghai is set to introduce the national cards by the end of this year. They will be used in Metro lines connecting Disney Resort and railway stations first, according to Shen.
The new national transport cards support online transactions and data collecting.
