Travel card provides convenience for local commuters

A new travel card will enable passengers to use all metro systems throughout Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province by the end of this year.

Currently, one type of travel card sold in Tianjin and Hebei can be used on buses in Beijing, but not on the capital's metro system.

The latest move is part of efforts to promote the integrated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
