Using mobile payment on subway trains in Guangzhou.
2017-09-27
China UnionPay has announced a tie up with Apple Pay for customers using subway trains in the southern city of Guangzhou. Commuters with UnionPay cards can now pay for their ride with their iPhone or Apple Watch at more than 6,000 subway gates at all stations in the city. The arrangement is part of its push to create a nationwide “smart” public transport system. Payments will be possible using technology called offline data authentication (ODA), and can be completed regardless of an internet connection. (Source: South China Morning Post)
