Stations

Tickets and Fares

Riders pay a fee whenever entering the subway and are not charged afterwards until after exiting the system. Transfers between lines are unlimited at no extra cost.As a result, Kaiyang Metro riders must buy and use a Dicard (地卡 (Dì kǎ)). Dicards track how long a person has been in the system and how long they have exited, and as such a rider must swipe their card twice, one when entering and again when leaving.

All fares that are covered by the Kaiyang Metro use Dicard as a medium, however fares are dependent on what service is being used. Dicards require the Resident Identity Card in order to be bought and reused, and are permanently tied to that person. The only variation of the Dicard that does not require the RIC is the single-use card.

The base fare for all Dicards is 2 Huajiang Yuan and 5 Huajiang Jiao (25; 2.50), and to register a Dicard is 5 Huajiang Yuan. A single-use card can be purchased for 7 Yuan, and 7-day and 30-day unlimited ride cards can lower per-ride fare. Reduced fares are automatically applied to elderly, disabled and veterans.
