According to the municipal transportation authorities, these bus lines will take tourists to the top scenic spots in Guangzhou. The trial will be expanded to more places given how it goes in the first period.
By now, only the China Construction Bank wallet account supports the service. Other commercial and online banks will also provide the service in the e-CNY APP soon after technological tests.
