4. Answers to hotly discussed questions among netizens
Organized based on Zhihu’s popular questions and answers:
Q: Why is the replacement fee more expensive than a new one?
A: Reissue usually involves additional costs such as system data migration and manual verification. Some cities convert the deposit into cost of construction.
Q: Are there any discounts for re-issuing senior citizen cards/student cards?
A: Most cities have reduction or exemption policies for special groups. For example, Beijing’s senior citizen card is free of charge and Shanghai’s student card is half-price.
Q: Will not applying for a new physical card affect my credit?
A: Ordinary bus cards are not affected. However, if the "Credit Ride" service in some cities is in arrears, it will not affect the Zhima credit rating.
5. Deep thinking behind the dispute over reissue fees
Expert analysis pointed out that the dispute over reissue fees reflects three deep-seated issues:
1. Insufficient transparency of urban public service pricing mechanism
2. Compatibility conflicts between mobile payment and traditional transportation card systems
3. Discussion on the rationality of public resource management cost allocation
It is recommended that consumers choose a replacement method based on actual needs: for short-term stays, electronic transportation codes can be used, and for long-term stays, it is recommended to apply for a physical card to enjoy transfer discounts. At the same time, we call on all localities to disclose the cost structure and establish a more scientific pricing mechanism.
