A mobile app has been made available to
enable passengers within the Yangtze River Delta to travel on three
inter-city railway lines without a paper ticket, part of efforts to
promote the integrated development of the area. Passengers
who have registered and deposit enough money in advance can get a QR
code at the app of "railway e-card" and scan it before boarding trains
on the Shanghai-Nanjing, Nanjing-Anqing and Nanjing-Qidong lines,
according to the China Railway Shanghai Group Co., Ltd. Designated
seats have been reserved for these passengers, and they need to scan
the QR code again at the exit gate to have the fare deducted after
getting off trains. Passengers who
want to get the fare reimbursed can have a paper invoice from a
ticketing machine at train stations within 31 days. The
e-cards, which allow passengers to board any train on the lines like
buses, will bring much convenience to numerous people commuting within
the Yangtze River Delta, which consists of Shanghai Municipality and the
provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. Last
year, China unveiled an outline for the regionally integrated
development of the Yangtze River Delta, which is one of the country's
most economically active, open and innovative regions, and produces
about one-fourth of the nation's GDP. Enditem
