Shanghai subway to give fare dodgers a credit blacklist

All the citizen representatives at a hearing on the Shanghai subway applauded when they heard that fare dodgers would find that their next stop is a credit blacklist, which may hinder them in loan and job applications and receiving public welfare.

The Standing Committee of the Shanghai People's Congress held a legislative hearing to seek public advice on a revised draft of regulations of subway management on Thursday.

All 16 representatives agreed that those who steal rides on the subway or falsely use others' travel certificates or use fake IDs should have their details recorded in the public credit information system.
