Consisting of eight lines, Shenzhen subway provides a relatively fast and economical way of transferring in the city. It also reaches to the border between the city and Hong Kong at Luo Hu station and Futian Checkpoint station, where passengers can transfer to Lo Wu station and Lok Ma Chau Station of Hong Kong's MTR East Rail Line for the Hong Kong travel. Moreover, Luo Bao Line also runs to the hot destination Window of the World and Baoan Airport. The announcers in the trains and stations broadcast in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English in turn.

Tickets Fare

Shenzhen metro employs a stage fare system. The more you travel, the more you pay. The starting fare is CNY2 for the first 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) and CNY1 is added for the next 2.5 miles (4 kilometers). After 7.5 miles (12 kilometers), it will be CNY1 every extra 4-mile (6-kilometer). After 15 miles (24 kilometers), it will charge CNY 1 per extra 5-mile (8-kilometer).
 

Ticket Type

Shenzhen subway adopts the following three common types of tickets:

 Single Journey Ticket (Token)
Single journey ticket is a green or yellow RFID plastic token, while the Transportation Card is a smart card similar to the Octopus Card used on the MTR rail lines in Hong Kong. It can be purchased at a vending machine. The machine has a high standard of the smoothness of the paper currency, so exchange coins from service staff if the bills cannot be identified. Each person can buy as many as 8 tickets at one time, so repeat the procedure for more tickets. Ticket vending machine only accepts CNY0.5 and CNY1 coins, CNY5 and CNY10 bank notes. The RFID token as the single journey ticket records the station entrance information after the purchase. To exit the station, one just needs to deposit the token in the slot at the station exit gate.

 Shenzhen Tong Pass (local transportation card)
Passengers using Local Transportation Card can receive a 5% discount. The card is easy to use just wave it in front of the card reader at all entrances and exits. The card can be reloaded at the value add machines. As the machine only accepts CNY50 and CNY100 bank notes, the minimum value added would be CNY50.
 Notes:
1. This pass is available at the Customer Service Centers of all the metro stations.
2. Only Laojie Station, Yantian and Longgang Station provide card returning service.
 

Preferential Prices

1. Children under the height of 4 feet (1.2 meters) can ride for free when accompanied by an adult. If the case is one adult with more than one kid, only one of the kids is free of charge and the rest of them should buy full price ticket. Children between 4-5 feet (1.2-1.5 meters) pay half of the full price.
2. Senior citizens over the age of 65, and the physically disabled can also take free rides on local metro.
