To meet the needs of COVID-19 prevention and control and ensure safe public travel, Shenzhen has implemented a real-name metro riding system starting from February 16. According to relevant regulations, passengers holding regular Shenzhen Tong cards and multi-ride tickets are required to scan the “station entry code” and the “carriage code” successively for each ride. Passengers using real-name authenticated tickets such as the Tencent Ride Code are required to scan the “carriage code” for each ride. After passengers scan the code in the carriage and upload their relevant information, the system backend will automatically generate precise travel information, including the passenger’s personal details, boarding time, and carriage number. In the event of an outbreak among subway passengers, the disease control authorities can use this information to promptly and accurately trace those who traveled on the same train, thereby achieving “early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment.”

[2] It is evident that Shenzhen Metro's real-name boarding system is significant for epidemic prevention and control. However, based on the implementation in recent days, the carriage scanning measure of Shenzhen Metro's real-name boarding system is somewhat ineffective. Unlike the mandatory scanning at entry gates, in practice, carriage scanning currently relies mainly on passengers' voluntary compliance. Although a small number of safety inspectors patrol the carriages, it is difficult to effectively supervise the carriage scanning behavior of a large number of passengers. Meanwhile, due to reasons such as poor mobile signals, forgetfulness, or reluctance to bother finding the carriage QR code, a considerable number of subway passengers likely do not scan the carriage code, as they can exit the station smoothly even without doing so.

[3] At this critical moment of epidemic prevention and control, we can call on passengers to voluntarily scan the carriage code. However, relying entirely on each passenger's voluntary scanning is indeed questionable. On one hand, individual passengers have different levels of awareness and discipline, and they may unintentionally forget to scan. On the other hand, although safety inspectors patrol the carriages, considering their numbers, workload, and specific supervision methods, effective passenger supervision is currently unattainable.

[4] Since implementing real-name subway boarding is crucial for epidemic prevention and control, and carriage scanning is a key step in enforcing this measure,[5] it is recommended that the subway group and other relevant authorities actively adopt improvement measures based on issues exposed during implementation. They should further strengthen the enforcement of carriage scanning through aspects such as boarding procedure design, ensuring the measure is effectively implemented. If so, it would be highly beneficial!
