China Travel GuideEnglish edition
Metro & Bus Payments in China
Set the correct city, distinguish metro and bus codes, and keep a ticket-machine or service-desk fallback when a QR code is unavailable.
Check before acting
Check the current screen, the conditions that may change and the fallback before making a critical decision.
What to know before you start
Use the same ticket or transport code to enter and exit, and check the final train before a late journey. Keep the Chinese station name available in case a code, gate or transfer fails.
