1. Traditional Card Card

The traditional bus card is a must-have for most consumers and the most traditional and simple travel option. The simple reason is that it is a prepaid card. After recharging, swiping the card and riding the car does not need to consider other factors. The tradition is also that it is a physical card. Consumers need to go to the designated place to recharge the card. .

It is precisely because of the attributes of physical cards that consumers can easily forget to carry, and with the popularization of mobile payment, people are gradually throwing away their wallets. Transportation cards are an indispensable but easy to miss for consumers. presence. Moreover, because it is a bearer card, once the card is lost, the funds in the card cannot be reported and recovered.

Advantages: fast payment and sensitive card swiping

Disadvantages: easy to lose, funds are not guaranteed, most places can not realize card payment in other places.

2. NFC mobile bus card

At present, most NFC mobile phone bus cards are based on the SE model, which has certain security guarantees, but if the mobile phone is lost, there is no way to do it. However, the biggest problem of NFC payment has always been the popularity of NFC mobile phones. Although more and more high-end models are now supporting NFC functions, there is still a long way to go before they are truly popular, and the iPhone has not opened its NFC application permissions, Apple mobile phones can not enjoy the thrill of bus, subway.

Three, QR code swipe the bus

Because it is also based on smart phone payment, it is almost the same as NFC payment in terms of security, anti-lost, and portability. However, in terms of convenience and sensitivity of payment, QR code payment obviously has no advantage. Taking out the mobile phone, lighting the screen, opening the APP, calling out the QR code, aligning the sensing area, and adjusting the angle, the whole process is relatively more tedious than swiping the card, and it is not practical to apply in the peak period of the subway.

Fortunately, the QR code payment is based on the credit authorization of the third-party payment platform, and the recharge step can be omitted, and the QR code has a lower threshold for smartphones and is more versatile. In terms of card swiping in different places, the QR code has just started in the field of transportation, not many cities are supported, and the transformation of terminal equipment requires capital and time, which greatly affects the development of QR code transportation payment.

Advantages: No recharge

Disadvantages: the payment process is troublesome, and the sensitivity of card swiping is relatively poor
