How to take a bus?
1. Foreign travelers can pay in cash (RMB) to take buses. Buses usually do not provide change, so travelers need to prepare small change in advance.
2. Foreign travelers can take your passports to the service outlets of the bus companies to buy bus cards. Payment for the cards can be made in cash or by WeChat or Alipay.
3. Foreign travelers need to open the Alipay APP, click on "Transport", and select "City". After completing identity verification, you will obtain a QR code for public travel. You need to have the QR code scanned when getting on and off the bus.
