CPU payment cards are used on metro and buses now in Kunming. They are also expected to be used on taxis. 　

Kunming Bus Group has started sales of three kinds of cards since March. The card with three Chinese characters “普通卡” (common card) at the top right corner of the green sides can be used on the metro.

A 10%-discount payment is provided on both buses and metro. But there is no discount for transferring between metro and buses. When the amount of money in the card is less than 5 yuan, they can be not be used to pay. If passengers swipe the card at the turnstile but don’t get aboard on the metro within 15 minutes, they can get a refund at the customer service center.

People who aged above 70 years can enjoy a free ride if they have a special card for the aged. Students’ cards can get a discount of 50%. (Editors:Lynn,Minnie Mao)
