How do you take metro and bus in the city? Open two apps for two different QR codes? Now, all you have to do is download the latest version of Yangchengtong APP, which can offer just one QR code for all passengers taking a metro or the bus.

Some third-party platforms, such as, WeChat and Alipay, will also provide this kind of service - combining two QR codes into one, after further user experience optimization in the future.

Another similar service product - one QR code travelling in the Greater Bay Area - is also under research and development. That will not only facilitate intercity travel in the GBA but also cross-border trips to Hongkong and Macao.

This kind of convenience is based on the idea of mobility as a service (MaaS). It aims to provide a seamless experience for travelers who need a combination of viewing multiple travel modes and provider options, this will also plan routes, reserve rides or vehicles, and pay for them.
