Shenzhen TransCard is a contactless smartcard system used in Shenzhen Metro in Shenzhen, People's Republic of China. It is developed by Shenzhen Modern Computer, the provider of automatic fare collection systems to Shenzhen Metro, with cooperation from Octopus Cards Limited, the operator of Hong Kong's Octopus cards system. It was first adopted by minibuses in Shenzhen, until the new system was introduced by Shenzhen Metro.
Starting from January 18, 2006, Shenzhen TransCard is gradually accepted by public buses to replace the old IC card system. Currently, nearly all single-fare routes operated by Shenzhen Bus Group accept Shenzhen TransCard.
Infineon Technologies announced it has won a contract to be the sole supplier of contactless microprocessor chips for the Shenzhen Tong transit card. Issuance unit volume of these cards is expected to exceed three million by the end of 2008
Shenzhen TransCards can be purchased for RMB25 or can be rented for RMB0.50/month.
