Beijing has issued more than 10 million contactless public transport cards since the e-ticketing system was launched in April last year. About 10 million transactions are carried out per day on average. Thanking for a promotional programme launched by the local transit authority on January 1, 2007, commuters in Beijing now enjoy a 60% discount on using their cards for bus payments.
