Beijing conducted the last large-scale trial operation for the Subway Automatic Fare Collection System (AFC subway system) on April 27th, according to Beijing News.
The staff concerned revealed that the AFC subway system will be put into use on May 17. By then the 30-year-old paper tickets, to be replaced by AFC one-way e-tickets, will officially quit from the historical stage.
The Subway Automatic Fare Collection System were tested on Line 1, Line 2, Line 5, Line 10, Batong line, Line 10 (not yet opened), the Olympic Extension, and the capital airport line. More than 120 stations were involved.
During the test, each station measured about 3,000 electronic tickets and 200 IC cards on average.
