Alipay in China, owned by Alibaba, is very widely used, and even more commonly turned to than credit cards. It holds a whopping 450 million active users in the country, who flip on its app to scan QR codes and pay for everything at street vendors, supermarkets, to pricey restaurants. 。
So now, rather than figure out change for a ride, Chinese travellers to the two big U.S. cities can scan a QR code and pay in a more familiar way when the ride's over.。A driver in China paying at a toll booth with Alipay and a phone.Credit: AFP/Getty Images。
