In China, which is a world leader in mobile payments based on smartphones, plans are under way to provide passengers with face recognition systems to cover metro costs.
Shenzhen Metro operators from China are testing a variety of advanced technologies supported by ultra-fast 5G networks, including face recognition ticketing systems.
At Futian station in Shenzhen, passengers can “swipe their faces” in front of tablets at the entrance or scan a QR code on their smartphones to automatically deduct subway fares from their accounts.
At present, Shenzhen metro operator did not disclose when to start face recognition system payment service details.
