Shenzhen TransCard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shenzhen TransCard (simplified Chinese: 深圳通) is a contactless smartcard system used in Shenzhen Metro in Shenzhen, People's Republic of China. It is developed by Shenzhen Modern Computer, the provider of automatic fare collection systems to Shenzhen Metro, with cooperation from Octopus Cards Limited, the operator of Hong Kong's Octopus cards system. It was first adopted by minibuses in Shenzhen, until the new system was introduced my Shenzhen Metro.
Starting from January 18, 2006, Shenzhen TransCard is gradually accepted by public buses to replace the old IC card system. Currently, nearly all single-fare routes operated by Shenzhen Bus Group accept Shenzhen TransCard.
