These Behavior Bans on the Subway Affects Your Credit Record!

On May 15, Beijing issued “Beijing Subway Passenger Regulations”. This includes a list of banned behaviors as well as a record of information for passengers which is effective immediately.

Violators who do not stop after being asked to will be asked to get off.  The subway operating staff has the right to refuse service if passengers do not listen and they will immediately report to the public security and traffic law enforcement departments.

The Beijing Municipal Traffic Law Enforcement Department will enforce this by recording bad behavior information to the Public Security Law Enforcement Department to address according to laws and regulations. Violators will also be recorded in a separate personal record that will affect their personal social credit record. 

According to the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport, passengers, except for infants and those with medical conditions, will not be allowed to eat or drink on the subway. 

Here are additional passenger bans.

Beijing Subway Passenger Behavior Bans:

  1. One person occupies more than one seat 
  2.  Product promoting 
  3. Playing videos or music (without headphones)
  4. Illegally entering or exiting gates; forged and altered subway cards

Once caught, violators information will be recorded. Their record can be cleared by taking the initiative to participate in voluntary services at the subway station.

If a violator has a discrepancy with the behavior or record of information, they can apply to the Beijing Traffic Law Enforcement Department for review. Within 15 days of receiving the application, the municipal traffic law enforcement department will review the information, conduct verification, and handle the matter.

If it is verified to be true, it shall promptly make corrections and notify the applicant in writing of the results of such corrections. If they find that record to be incorrect, it will be removed from the violators’ record at the time.
