Is there a discount for retirees to take the subway

Whether the elderly take the subway for free depends on the specific policies of various places, because there is no unified regulation in the country at present. In some places, the elderly can take the subway for free with their senior citizen cards, such as Qingdao, Dalian and Zhengzhou. However, in some areas, elderly people with senior citizen cards are not allowed to take the subway for free.

For example, in Dalian, elderly people can enjoy certain preferential policies if they hold senior citizen cards and take subways in different areas. According to the preferential treatment measures for the elderly in Dalian, the elderly aged 60 to 69 can enjoy a 50% discount when taking the subway, and the elderly over 70 can take the subway free of charge with their old age certificates or ID cards.

It should be noted that the subway company and the bus company are not the same company, so the two companies are not interoperable in policy. Therefore, in some areas or cities, the senior citizen card can take the bus for free, but the subway does not necessarily have such a policy, so if you are not sure whether it is free, you'd better consult the local subway service station.

Subway stations in most cities have set up special green passages for the elderly over 65 years old. Old people can take such green passages directly by subway without queuing to swipe their cards. It can be said that this exclusive passage is a more convenient and preferential welfare for the elderly, which helps the elderly to take the subway quickly.
