2. The balance in the card must be greater than the minimum fare of the bus. If the balance is not enough to pay the fare when getting off, the bus terminal will deduct the balance to 0 yuan, and the balance will be deducted for the next ride after the passenger recharge.

3. If the Shenzhen pass Card has the record of swipe card/scan code and balance deduction without getting off the bus in the previous ride, it will not affect the rail transit.

1. In the same vehicle, the same station is not allowed to continuously tap the card/scan the code (in order to avoid passengers' inadvertence of repeating the card/scan the code), need to change the station before the card/scan the code.

2. If passengers need to get off at the same station under special circumstances, the driver can deduct the basic fare through the "hello" function of the keypad before passengers can get off.


Fifth. Discount and transfer preferential rules

In addition to the supplementary transaction, other ride deduction fees are eligible for discounts and transfer concessions.

The supplementary deduction rule of Shenzhen Pass card or QR code is: the first three times (including three times) shall be deducted according to the lowest fare, and the additional three times shall be deducted according to the maximum fare between the boarding point and the starting and stopping stations.


Eighth, on and off the car driving direction is not consistent deduction rules

If the passenger gets on and gets off the driving direction is not consistent, when getting off the card, it is necessary to add the two sections of the journey to deduct the fee.
