Fares for the Guangzhou Metro Single tickets are bought at a kiosk at every station or by the automatic ticket vending machines. Like most cities in Asia, fares are based according to distance. Fares range from 2 yuan (a couple of stations) to 11 yuan (the longest journeys). The ticket itself is a black magnetic plastic token. The user has to tap it on the sensor on the ticket barrier and when he or she exits, the use has to insert it at the exit gate, the token is retained. It will not be valid if it is expired (past 2 and a half hours after validation). The other preferable payment method is the Yang Cheng Tong which is similar in function to that of the Octopus Card in Hong Kong or the Oyster in London. The Yang Cheng Tong offers discounts for riding the Metro.
