| The transportation card is extremely useful for tourists like me. No need to spend extra time at the ticketing counter, or fumble for coins for single trip ticket purchase. One thing to note, purchase the card earlier in the day. I have tried at Middle Henan and Lujiazui metro, all said that the card is out of stock. I remember the time was just after lunch, on a Friday. I was rather surprised, because I do not come across this situation in Singapore. A check with one of the Kedi store revealed that topup is not available later in the day due to a 'quota system' at the bank, thus it is suggested to purchase and topup the card the earliest you can. I always do it early in the morning, before going for sightseeing. |
