It is reported that "Lingnantong" is issued by the dual-brand strategy of "Lingnantong Local Communication", in which "Lingnantong" is the main brand and "Local Communication" is the sub-brand. "Among them, Guangzhou and Foshan, which have been interconnected in advance, have 20 million Yangchengtong and Guangfotong, which can pass through the cities, industries and fields covered by Lingnan without changing cards; The original brand local bus smart cards that meet the requirements of the provincial one-card technical specifications are also expected to be upgraded and incorporated into the provincial one-card system in the near future to achieve barrier-free access. " The person in charge of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Transportation said. According to the plan, during the year, citizens with the newly issued "Lingnantong" have been upgraded to the existing smart cards of Yangchengtong, Guangfotong and local public transportation of "Lingnantong", which can not only pass Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhaoqing, Jiangmen, Shanwei and Huizhou, but also realize barrier-free access in the Pearl River Delta region (except Shenzhen). "Because the networking between Shenzhen Stock Connect and Hong Kong Octopus has not been completed, shenzhen tong has not been included in Lingnantong for the time being this year. After Shenzhen Unicom and Hong Kong Octopus are connected to the Internet, we will start to dock with Lingnantong, and those who hold Lingnantong or Yangchengtong are expected to brush directly to Hong Kong. " Informed sources explained this to reporters. According to the plan, the function of Lingnantong is not limited to the urban transportation field, but will also be extended to the public service fields such as convenience stores, supermarkets, parking lots, etc. Finally, it will realize mutual recognition with the traffic smart card system in Hong Kong and Macao, and provide the people with the most convenient public travel service.
