Social Credit: My Experience

social credit

Caught this message on an intercity train in China... missed the start but it basically just says please don't smoke on the train & don't smoke or use hairspray in the toilet.

Punishment for smoking on a train:

- fine of 500-2000RMB (USD$120-480)

- banned from purchasing intercity train tix for 180 days

- fine is recorded on your personal credit record

 

I've heard this same announcement on 2 separate trains so far. This is an economy class train car & I didn't hear it on 1st class (extra $20 is worth it for much better seats).

 

Something else I captured on the train in this video:

That was the typical cruising speed, it just slows down for stops to let people on or off.
