Chinese passengers will be able to use their smartphones to pay for Metro journeys from Saturday. However, foreign passengers will have to wait another couple of months, the city’s Metro operator said on Tuesday.

After a two-month trial on the maglev line, payment by scanning a QR code will be available at all the city's 389 Metro stations.

To use the system, passengers must first download the “Metro daduhui” app and then link their Alipay or UnionPay card to it. After they register, passengers can click “Chengche” (taking a train) and a QR code will be generated.
