- baybal2 8y agoI never meant that it is easy to ride paper trail free in China, or if you can get ID free tickets on a golden platter. With busses it is still hit and miss. Bigger bus companies, which allow you to reserve tickets online tend to require it, and smaller "Uncle Liu Bus" type companies more than likely not. As for train tickers, you will always be asked for an ID and given a regular blue ticket if you buy them right at the railway station these days. To get an old type pink ticket, you have to look for standalone ticket offices ran by agents. There are very, very few remaining, but they do sell legit tickets. One or two in Foshan, one in Shunde, one in Meizhou. And there is always a risky option to buy them from grannies. https://imgur.com/a/xlB2sX4 https://imgur.com/a/xlB2sX4 And one even lesser known way is to find stations with very, very old ticket vending machines that are from 2008 or so. Those don't require IDs, and take cash. Only single digits of them are remaining in Guangdong, and whom ever knows of them don't blabber around about that.
