上海将推出能为交通卡充值的手机应用   2015-05-12

 

SHANGHAI residents will be able to put money on their Metro cards through their mobile phones by the end of June, ending the inconvenience of having to refill them at subway stations or convenience stores.

The app-based service will first be available only on phones enabled with so-called “near-field communication,” or NFC, functions and only with purple Metro cards that are equipped with particular chips, according to Shanghai Public Transportation Card Co.

Company officials told Shanghai Daily they don’t have a figure on how many people may be eligible to use the new service. There are more than 50 million Metro cards in use, purple and others.
