In the Ministry of Transport’s latest initiative to make inter-city traveling easier, the China T-Union transport card will aim to connect 260 at or above prefecture-level cities nationwide before 2020. This announcement was made on June 11 at a press conference held by the ministry in Jiangsu province.
Launched at the end of 2015 in Beijing and neighboring Tianjin and Hebei, the China T-Union card system has already been installed in 245 cities to date.

Those who currently have local transport cards are eligible to upgrade to the new T-Union card.
