The Tencent Transit QR Code is now available for overseas visitors to use on public transport in the city.
Without buying a physical transport card, users can activate an offline QR code to take buses, Metro, Maglev and ferries and swipe at the stations even if network connections are unstable.
Overseas visitors were already able to link international credit or debit cards from Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Discover, and Diners Club to WeChat Pay and use QR codes for payment at a wide range of locations.
