Shenzhen metro employs a stage fare system. The more you travel, the more you pay. The starting fare is CNY2 for the first 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) and CNY1 is added for the next 2.5 miles (4 kilometers). After 7.5 miles (12 kilometers), it will be CNY1 every extra 4-mile (6-kilometer). After 15 miles (24 kilometers), it will charge CNY 1 per extra 5-mile (8-kilometer).
 

Shenzhen subway adopts the following three common types of tickets:

 Single Journey Ticket (Token)
Single journey ticket is a green or yellow RFID plastic token, while the Transportation Card is a smart card similar to the Octopus Card used on the MTR rail lines in Hong Kong. It can be purchased at a vending machine. The machine has a high standard of the smoothness of the paper currency, so exchange coins from service staff if the bills cannot be identified. Each person can buy as many as 8 tickets at one time, so repeat the procedure for more tickets. Ticket vending machine only accepts CNY0.5 and CNY1 coins, CNY5 and CNY10 bank notes. The RFID token as the single journey ticket records the station entrance information after the purchase. To exit the station, one just needs to deposit the token in the slot at the station exit gate.
