China UnionPay
Single Fare Transaction Workflow

The
China UnionPay
(CUP) single fare transaction workflow begins when the rider taps a payment card on a contactless terminal at a point of access to a transit system. This workflow is a Pay As You Go (PAYG) model. Tap-in and tap-out data are collected and sent to the transit system for fare calculation after a single trip.
