Xinhua News Agency, Fuzhou, April 12 -from 11th, Fuzhou Rongcheng all-in-one card can be upgraded to take the subway! However, the fulutong card originally planned to be released in March also has this function, but it has not been released for a long time. The reporter called Fujian transportation all-in-one card Co., Ltd. today and got a reply: it will be released as soon as August this year.
Fulu pass card can be sold as soon as 8 months
On December 14 last year, Fujian Provincial Department of Transportation held a news briefing on Fulu tongka, saying that the preparation for issuing Fulu tongka in various places has been basically completed, but Fuzhou fulutong Rongcheng tongka has not yet carried out technical debugging. After completing each step, it is planned to be released in March 2016.
However, up to now, fulutong Rongcheng pass card has not been released.
“Yesterday, our contract with Fuzhou Rongcheng all-in-one card Co., Ltd has been fully discussed, and the specific timetable will be arranged this week. However, it takes 2 months to transform the platform and 1 month to transform the machines and tools.” Zhang Jin, planning manager of Fujian traffic card, said that the company would improve the bus card swiping function first and then develop the subway card swiping function. Therefore, fulutong Rongcheng card is expected to be officially released in August and September. As for why the sale of Fulu pass card was postponed, Zhang Jin did not explain.
So, what is the function of fulutong Rongcheng pass card, which will be sold in August as soon as possible? Fujian transportation all-in-one card company said that it could only realize the functions of bus and subway in 2016. Starting from 2017, functions such as brushing public bicycles and public parking lots will be explored and opened one after another. After that, various functions will be gradually improved.
It is understood that Fulu pass card is one of the major livelihood projects in Fujian province. According to the plan, it can be used to pay for bus, subway, taxi, urban and rural passenger transport, ferry, highway tolls, and will be expanded for vehicle parking, maintenance, logistics, tourism, accommodation and other expenses are paid. Finally, the card gradually replaced the existing bus pass and City all-in-one card to realize one card for the province’s transportation.
Rongcheng all-in-one card can be used temporarily
Since Fulu pass card will eventually replace bus pass and City all-in-one card, why does Fuzhou Rongcheng all-in-one card need to be upgraded? Does this mean that citizens must change cards twice?
Zhang Jin said that if Fuzhou Metro Line 1 was tried to operate in May, the sale of Fulu tongka would be later. “During this period, citizens can use Rongcheng all-in-one card to take the subway. After that, we will introduce a card replacement plan, but citizens can choose whether to change or not.”
The reporter learned that from April 11, Fuzhou Rongcheng all-in-one card opened a free upgrade service. After the upgrade, it can be used to take the subway. Fuzhou citizens can handle it in 8 Direct outlets and 25 postal factories of Rongcheng all-in-one card. Among them, CPU cards with CP words on the back of the card can be used without upgrading, while M1 cards except CPU cards need to be upgraded to outlets to have new functions. After the upgrade, Rongcheng all-in-one card will have three main functions: Supermarket credit card consumption, bus brushing and floor brushing. In contrast, in the future, fulutong will not only include these three services, but also have more functions.
However, if you upgrade first, it means that citizens will face the trouble of changing cards twice. In this regard, Zhang Jin said that in the short term, Fulu pass card can only be used to brush buses and subways. It has the same function as Rongcheng all-in-one card, and there is no conflict in use. “citizens can upgrade Rongcheng all-in-one card now, you can also directly handle the Fulu pass card after it is officially released.” As for the time when Fu Lu Tong card replaced Rongcheng one-card, Zhang Jin only said, “both cards should be available within two years.” (Jiang Qiaoling)
