China's capital Beijing plans to launch the BEIJING PASS, an international public transportation card, which will allow foreigners to use the card to ride the subway in Beijing in the future.

According to CCTV News on Wednesday (July 31, 2024), the number of foreign tourists in Beijing's major scenic spots has increased significantly during the summer vacation. To facilitate the travel of foreign passengers, Beijing plans to launch the BEIJING PASS, an international card.
