Mini programs for local transit
Fast entry without cash

Quick answer

QR codes in WeChat or Alipay are the easiest way to pay for transport in major cities.

How QR transport works

Many cities use QR codes instead of physical tickets. You generate a code inside WeChat or Alipay and scan at the gate.

Activation may require identity verification, so set it up before your first trip.

City-specific mini programs

Each city has its own transit mini program. Search by city name inside WeChat or Alipay to find it.

Follow prompts to bind a payment method and agree to terms.

Backups

If QR payment fails, buy a single ticket at the machine. Keep a transit card if you are staying longer.

Always have a backup payment method in case of network issues.
