Suishenxing
Shanghai's official smart transport platform, Suishenxing, has launched a designated section to serve the auto exhibition.
After visitors input the address of the NECC as the departure location or destination into the "Suishenxing" app, they can automatically obtain various travel plans. The current location and upcoming arrival time of buses and subway, in real-time, will also be available on the app.
It also prepared thousands of coupons to award green travel during the upcoming exhibition.
From now until the end of the auto show, a total of 25,000 coupons will be distributed to registered users of Suishenxing, who will receive two 5-yuan public transportation discount coupons by sharing the app with others.
Suishenxing can record it users' green and low-carbon travel, and change it into green credits. Users can check their contribution to carbon reduction emissions on the personal management page of the app, and view their ranking on the carbon reduction list.
Initiated by the local government, Suishenxing is the first metropolitan platform with multiple functions, including public transportation, taxi hailing and smart parking.
Its original version came online last October, operating based on Shanghai's Mobility as a Service (MaaS) system.
