Residents will be able to take any means of public transportation in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei with only one transportation card in 2015.
This is part of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei transportation integration project which covers the aviation, port, expressway and other fields.
Staff at the transportation authority in Tianjin said related departments in the three areas will conduct more cooperations to ensure the integration of the expressway network, service and information.
Transportation cards were introduced in 1999 and are now widely used in 254 cities and towns nationwide.
However, the system has been separated among different cities and one card can only be used in one city.
The Ministry of Transportation said it planned to fulfill the integration of the card in large and medium-sized cities across the country by 2020.
