Jinan, China: All Our Buses Accept Digital Yuan – And CBDC Customers Get Discounts
Jinan, China, says all of its bus routes now accept digital yuan pay, and will incentivize adoption by granting discounts to central bank digital currency (CBDC)-paying passengers.
Per the news outlet Shunwang-Jinan Daily (via e23), the city said that all of its bus routes’ software and card readers had been updated to allow all buses to accept payments in the Chinese CBDC.
Jinan is the capital of Shandong, a province in Eastern China, and has a population of over 9.2 million. The city had initially piloted digital yuan payments on two of its busiest bus lines, B52 and BRT5.
But after the success of these pilots, the city has decided to deploy digital yuan pay options across its entire bus network. And in a bid to boost adoption, Jinan has announced that passengers can receive discounts if they pay on buses using the CBDC.
