SHANGHAI’S public transportation card is not only useful in the city.
It is also accepted in 11 cities nearby depending on its color.
Currently there are five colors — green, yellow, red, blue and purple.
Blue cards, as well as souvenir cards and specially shaped cards whose 12-digit serial number begins with “C” can only be used in Shanghai. The other four colors can all be used outside the city.
