The Beijing Municipal Administration & Communication Card (Chinese: 北京市政交通一卡通; pinyin: Běijīng Shìzhèng jiāotōng Yīkǎtōng), more commonly known as the Yikatong (literally One-card pass), is a stored-value contactless smart card used in Beijing, China, for public transportation and related uses.[1][2][3][4] It is similar to Hong Kong's Octopus card, Singapore's CEPAS, The OMNY Card in New York City, United States, or the Oyster Card used by Transport for London in London, England.[5][6][7]
