Beijing Senior Citizens Can Take Free Subway Rides

(CRI) 420,000 senior citizens aged over 80 in Beijing can take free subways using a card that begun to be issued on December 30.

These senior citizens can get a government allowance of 100 yuan per month which will be transferred onto this card, starting from January, 2015.

This card can also be used in stores and super markets as well as to gain free access to public parks.

No password is set for the card and there is no need to activate it.

Li Hongbing, the spokesman with Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau, says the lack of activation and password hurdles makes the card easier to use for senior citizens.
