5. Deep thinking behind the dispute over reissue fees

Expert analysis pointed out that the dispute over reissue fees reflects three deep-seated issues:

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.
