Haha, the original poster, I am very happy to answer your question again.

There are indeed many buses in Chongqing that do not sell tickets, but they can also accept coins, but you must have change, otherwise you can usually only put in more coins and not less.

You can apply for a Chongqing bus card, put money on it, and swipe the card directly every time you take the bus. It is indeed much more convenient. You don’t have to spend money to buy things just to prepare change. As I know, there are the following places in the main urban area of ??Chongqing where you can apply for bus cards.

First of all, let me introduce to you the matters related to bus IC cards:

1. Introduction to IC cards

1. Types of IC cards. The IC cards issued by Chongqing Public Transport are divided into three categories: ordinary cards, discount cards for adults and students, and free cards.

(1) Ordinary card: With this card, multiple people can swipe the card at the same time to ride the bus. It can be used across the year and month. It can be used on all buses equipped with on-board and handheld toll collection machines. The minimum recharge amount per time 10 yuan, a discount of 9 yuan per ride on the actual fare. When purchasing a card for the first time, you need to register with your ID card and pay a service compensation of 25 yuan (to facilitate reporting loss and returning the card). After applying for the card, 1 yuan will be deducted for one month until the deduction is exhausted. This card does not have a photo.

(2) Discount (monthly ticket) card: This card is a welfare card, divided into two types: adult and student. The discount is larger, but it must be used on a monthly basis. Cardholders are limited to a maximum of 90 rides per month. After the month expires, the remaining rides in the card will be forfeited. The card holder needs to hold the original ID card or household registration book (students need student ID card), submit a color photo and a deposit of 25 yuan for the IC card, which is for personal use only. When not in use, the deposit will be refunded if the card is intact. The monthly purchase price for an adult card is 40 yuan, and the monthly purchase price for a student card is 20 yuan. Based on 90 rides per month, each ride is equivalent to RMB 0.44 for adults and RMB 0.22 for students. According to the results of a comprehensive traffic survey organized by the Chongqing Municipal Planning Bureau in October 2002, monthly pass passengers travel an average of 2.57 times a day. Except for statutory holidays stipulated by the state, employees travel to and from get off work for 21 working days per month. Based on this calculation, The average number of trips per person to and from get off work is about 54.

(3) Free card: only for retired cadres, disabled revolutionary soldiers, blind people and elderly people over 70 years old with permanent urban residence in the main urban area.

2. Scope of use of discount cards and free cards. Cardholders can use it on 60 published bus (monthly pass) lines in the city. In order to better serve passengers with preferential cards and free cards, Chongqing Public Transport has increased the number of bus lines to 60 bus lines based on the original 37 valid monthly ticket lines, with a line increase of 62%, a 54% increase in line length, an increase of 481 vehicles, and an appropriate The operating hours of these lines have been extended.

3. Special functions of IC cards. Both the student discount card and the free card have the electronic wallet function. If you need to activate it, you should pay a compensation of 25 yuan according to the regulations of ordinary cards when applying for (receiving) the card (the 25 yuan deposit will no longer be charged). When activated during use, the 25 yuan deposit will be converted into compensation. After the electronic wallet is opened, it can still be used by the individual, but the cardholder can take multiple people on the bus. The discount card and free card will be deducted once for himself first, and the remaining people will be deducted at a 10% discount. After the two cards are used up, payment will automatically switch to the electronic wallet function.

II. IC card implementation

Before issuing IC cards, Chongqing Public Transport issued an average of about 160,000 monthly passes every month, which were used on 37 valid routes (only accounting for the total lines 14.74% of the number of bars). In the four months since IC cards were issued, 170,000 discount cards and more than 20,000 ordinary cards have been sold, which has exceeded the number of monthly tickets issued in the past. The discount card can be used on 60 lines, while the ordinary card is not limited to lines. The current statistical results are that the average number of monthly uses of each discount card is 76 times, and less than 10% of the total number exceeds 90 times.

Chongqing Public Transport plans to open 40 new lines using discount cards by the end of 2005, bringing the total number of lines to 100; add another 800 vehicles, bringing the total number to more than 2,000.

In addition, for employees within the group company, an employee card has been specially made, and the number of rides is limited to 90 times per month. If you exceed 90 times, you must buy your own ticket.

The card reader of Chongqing Bus is hand-held by the conductor and is integrated with the ticket board and money box.

3. Fiscal Policy

The financial subsidy agreement signed by the Chongqing Municipal Finance Bureau and the Public Transport Group in 2002 is unchanged for three years, with an annual subsidy of 70 million yuan, of which 20 million Yuan is a special appropriation. After the discount card replaces the monthly ticket, the subsidy agreement signed by the two parties in 2002 will continue to be implemented.

IV. Effects after the implementation of IC cards

1. Peak passenger flow has been alleviated and service levels have been improved. Since Chongqing Public Transport added lines and vehicles at the same time as the discount card was launched, and has a 90-trip limit, the morning and evening peak passenger flow has eased. After the implementation of IC cards, it was difficult to count the number of monthly tickets accurately in the past, and the income from class operations was linked to the personal income of the sales staff. Therefore, the sales staff consciously and proactively provided enthusiastic services, eliminating the phenomenon of turning away customers.

2. The society reflects well and the company's efficiency improves. To issue an IC card, you need to pay 25 yuan service compensation or 25 yuan deposit, and the number of rides is limited to 90 times. It should be said that the price is higher than the monthly pass in the past. Since the line scale and vehicles were expanded at the same time as the discount card was issued, passengers got certain benefits accordingly, and the vast majority of passengers used it less than 90 times. At the same time, the ordinary card has a 10% discount, which This is an important reason why IC cards can be issued in large quantities after monthly passes are cancelled. The cancellation of monthly tickets and the large-scale issuance of IC cards have promoted the improvement of corporate economic benefits. At present, the income from ordinary tickets and IC cards is growing simultaneously. In late February, the number of cards sold every day was more than 600.

3. Completely put an end to fake monthly passes. In the past, there was also the problem of fake monthly passes in Chongqing, which caused losses to corporate interests. The application of IC cards has completely eradicated fake monthly passes.

4. High, medium and low-end vehicles are fully equipped. Chongqing public transportation vehicles have the logos of high-end buses (star-rated high-end air-conditioned buses of the bus company), mid-range buses (ordinary air-conditioned buses), and low-end buses prominently displayed on the lower right corner of the front windshield. Different vehicle types adopt different ticket systems. It is available for passengers to choose from and has been welcomed by passengers.
