According to the Beijing Transportation Commission, on December 1, the subway QR codes of the two cities with the largest population in China achieved interoperability.
The official APP of the Beijing Metro is Yitongxing, and the official APP of the Shanghai Metro is Metro. In the future, Yitongxing can take the Shanghai subway and the metropolitan city to take the Beijing subway.
Beijing, Shanghai and Shanghai have close social and economic exchanges, and there is a great demand for travel between cities. Beijing and Shanghai subway mileage and passenger flow rank first and second in the country. The two-dimensional code interconnection will facilitate transport between cities for citizens of the two places.
The two-dimensional code interconnection of Beijing and Shanghai metro travel follows the localization principle of travel discounts, that is, passengers using Yitongxing to take the Shanghai metro do not enjoy local discounts in Shanghai and do not enjoy of the Beijing Metro discounts when using the Metropolitan Metropolis.
According to the situation learned in previous interviews by Jiemian News, this rule is to ensure the loyalty of local users to the local APP, and prevent the APP from operating in different places to attract users.
Currently, 41 cities in China (except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) have opened rail transit. With the exception of Tianshui, Huai’an and Zhuhai, the subway or urban express trains in 38 cities have launched official applications to scan travel codes.
Two-dimensional code rides provide convenience for local citizens, but passengers from elsewhere must download the local subway app each time they visit a city to complete the cumbersome registration and opening process. Although the WeChat and Alipay platforms also provide code scanning services, they only support a limited number of urban meters.
Jiemian News published in “38 applications in 38 cities, when will it be possible to scan the national subway with one yard?” In the article, an in-depth report on the current state of metro QR code interoperability nationwide. At present, major industry platforms such as Metro Metropolis, Yitongxing, Urban Rail Yixing and Chengdu-Chongqing Metro are promoting interconnection. After Metro Metropolitan connected to Beijing, it has supported scan codes for subway travel in 14 cities.
Currently, more than 20 cities have joined different interoperability platforms, representing more than half of the metropolitan cities in the country. The Yangtze River Delta region has initially achieved interregional interoperability. The third metropolitan city of Guangzhou and the fourth metropolitan city of Shenzhen, in addition to being connected to Alipay or WeChat, are not connected to any official intercom platform, which is also the greatest difficulty in national intercom.
Jiemian News learned from industry experts that the main reason for the failure to achieve interoperability in South China is to establish its own interoperability platform. Furthermore, as first-tier cities, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are unwilling to become affiliates of the leading Beijing and Shanghai platforms, and they are also unwilling to join the urban rail transit platform built by the China Urban Rail Transit Association. , hoping to have the right to speak.
The Guangzhou Metro hopes to take the lead in building a unified subway ticketing platform in the Greater Bay Area, but obviously the project is extremely difficult. Shenzhen, which has the same economy and population, will not accept it easily, while Dongguan is on the sidelines.
Jin Tao, director of the Shanghai Rail Transit Information Management Center, compared the current structure to the separation of the four main alliances. Beijing is the leader of North China, Shanghai is the leader of ASEAN, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are the leaders of South China, and Chengdu and Chongqing are the leaders of the Southwest. Each leader takes the initiative to complete the area. The interconnection and intercommunication between the leaders will then form alliances between them to carry out the national intercommunication. “If Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen achieve interoperability, other cities will not have much room for negotiation, which is equivalent to forming a unified national standard.”
Jin Tao told Jiemian News on December 1 that after the two-dimensional code interoperability of the Beijing-Shanghai metro, the next step for the Shanghai Metro is to achieve interoperability with the Chengdu-Chongqing area. Guangzhou-Shenzhen interoperability is also planned, but it is relatively difficult to move forward.
Gao Wei, deputy general manager of Yitongxing, told Jiemian News that national connectivity mainly depends on the actions of several large cities in the region. “Regional interoperability is expected to be completed in this year and the next two years. Once regional interoperability is achieved and a certain scale is formed, the voice of national interoperability will be very loud and is expected to be achieved in two. or three years, “Gao Wei said.
Payment companies are also actively accessing the metro in more cities. According to the reporter’s statistics, as of September 2020, WeChat supports 10 cities to scan the QR code to take the subway, Alipay supports 13, and Cloud QuickPass supports 10.
However, Alipay and WeChat have not yet entered Beijing and Shanghai, Yitongxing and Metro are still the development focus of the two places and hope to build a national interoperability platform.
