Every month, when I get paid, it’s just change of one yuan. 　　 “There’s nothing that can be done about it either. Putting coins in the machine remains the way most people pay for bus rides, and there are still very few users of bus cards, which results in a lot of change. Banks are also reluctant to accept and hold such large amounts of small change, so the company’s expenses for materials, employee salaries, etc., are covered from these funds. This has been the case ever since cashless bus fares were introduced in 2000; it’s been 12 years now. ”Zhang Weifeng, the executive deputy general manager of Shangqiu Public Transportation Co., Ltd., said. http://service.kele8.com/media/cms/uploads/2012/03/15/1331781422.jpg On March 14, 2012, in Shangqiu City, Henan Province, employees of the city’s bus company were receiving their salaries; for 12 years they had been getting change instead of actual cash. Every month, when I get paid, it’s just change of one yuan. 　　 “A bundle like this, consisting of 1,000 one-yuan coins, weighs 12.5 jin; employees’ monthly salaries are thus ‘quite heavy,’ said Zhang Weifeng, the executive vice president of Shangqiu Public Transportation Co., Ltd., in a semi-joking tone. 　　 On the morning of March 14, 2012, at the finance department of the bus company, reporters saw bundles and stacks of one-dollar bills and coins piled up on the tables and on the floor; employees were lining up to take those piles of change and put them into their shopping bags or purses. Employee Wei Xiuxiu told the reporter, “I’ve been here for over two years, and I receive my salary in this way every month. Our boss does the same as us.” ”When asked by the reporter how she dealt with this change, she said, “It’s very troublesome to go to the supermarket to exchange it for whole bills before spending money each time.” ”“Every time salary is paid, there are both joys and worries: the joy is that the salary has been received, while the worry is that it’s difficult to spend the money. ”Employee Zhao Hui said. 　　 “There’s nothing that can be done about it either. Putting coins in the machine remains the way most people pay for bus rides, and there are still very few users of bus cards, which results in a lot of change.

This has been the case ever since cashless bus fares were introduced in 2000; it’s been 12 years now. ”Zhang Weifeng explained. Later, he took the journalists to see their workshop where they are specifically responsible for sorting change. A dozen or so employees methodically sort, stack, and tie up banknotes and coins one by one, day after day. The reporter noticed that there were also many worn-out coins piled up nearby. It is understood that it is common for passengers to insert damaged coins, **, game machine tokens, and practice bills into the ticket vending machines; as a result, bus companies suffer losses of hundreds of thousands of yuan each year due to this. 　　 Zhang Weifeng said that there is still no effective solution to these problems. On the one hand, he hopes that more citizens will use bus IC cards in order to reduce the use of cash; on the other hand, he hopes that banks can help address the difficulties associated with storing small amounts of cash. http://service.kele8.com/media/cms/uploads/2012/03/15/1331781385.jpg On March 14, 2012, in Shangqiu City, Henan Province, employees of the city’s bus company were receiving their salaries; for 12 years they had been getting change instead of actual cash.
