Say goodbye to traveling freely across much of the country without taking along an ID card or passport. The first Anti-Terrorism Act of the PRC officially took effect on May 11, adding more ID and safety checkups than ever before in public transportation.
On May 16, the Guangzhou Transport Committee posted a reminder in their official WeChat account, stating that according to the Anti-Terrorism Act, an ID card is now required when purchasing long-distance coach tickets. For the people who purchase online, an ID needs to be shown when boarding the bus.
Dongguan has not yet applied the Act while purchasing coach tickets. Though some readers told HERE! that they were asked to show identification when they took a bus back to Dongguan from Guangzhou or Shenzhen. “Long-distance” is a vague concept and could include the journey between Guangzhou and Dongguan. It is suggested to always bring your ID or passport with you when you take any public transportation to travel out of the city and back.
