How can I pay for metro tickets in Shanghai?

Shanghai metro tickets can be purchased at ticket offices or automatic vending machines at each station. Payment is accepted in cash (yuan) or UnionPay bank cards. Currently, only cards from Rosselkhozbank work; all others are blocked due to sanctions. However, given the unstable situation with sanctions and the operation of Russian bank cards, we would still recommend stocking up on cash yuan, as it is more reliable and there are no difficulties in purchasing them at Russian banks.
