[quote=JIMMYB,508911]Rose, you can't use Octopus card in mainland China. So far, no such a card can be used to purchase the train tickets. If you are in Beijing, you might buy a smart IC card which enables you to enjoy great discount when you take the subway and public bus. It also can be used to pay for the taxi fee. This year, the local government announces that people with the smart ID cards can recharge values to their mobile phones and pay for the water and electricity fees. In fact, such a smart IC card (mainly used for taking public bus and subway) can be found in big and medium-size cities. But you can't use it in another city. Last months, some cities (I don't remember their names clearly) jointly announced that people with the smart IC cards issued by these cities can use them in any jointed city.[/quote]
