Recently, the Beijing Municipal Communications Card Company launched the One-Card Electronic Card Service, and citizens can experience the use of QR codes to travel in the six suburbs of Tongzhou and Changping. Citizens who want to experience the code scan ride service need to download a one-card APP and open a free virtual card online. Unlike the “Mobile Card” produced by the One Card Company, the virtual card of the One-Card App can be used on any smartphone. It is understood that this service will be promoted in more lines in the future, but urban buses do not have a timetable for scanning codes.

Last year, in response to the trend of mobile payments, the Beijing Municipal Traffic launched a number of "mobile phone rides" to enhance the convenience of the public's travel experience. As of now, the number of users who choose to use their mobile phones to pay on bus and subways has reached more than 1.6 million. The transaction volume exceeded 600,000 times. The method of swiping mobile phones has become the first choice for more and more people to travel easily.

Which cities have already begun to expand the use of two-dimensional codes for buses? I has collected some of the information.

Now these are not problems, because Shenzhen Public Transport has been officially connected to WeChat payment, taking a bus in Shenzhen, you can directly scan the code when get on the bus. “Currently in Shenzhen, all buses have already supported WeChat payment and will no longer suffer from long queues, cash changes, etc.” The driver told reporters that he would enjoy using the “Shenzhen Tong QR Code” to enjoy communication with Shenzhen bus card equivalent discounts.

Whether a bus is equipped with one or two card readers mainly depends on the fare calculation method of the route: single-fare routes usually only require passengers to tap their cards once when boarding, so one card reader is sufficient; while distance-based fare routes require passengers to tap their cards both when boarding and alighting to calculate the actual trip cost, hence two card readers are needed.
