Nearly 300 bus stops across the Chinese city of Hohhot have introduced a coin sharing project, where users can get a certain amount of free coins to ride the bus and hopefully return the same amount another day. /China News Photo

A purple sticker can be seen across the city’s bus stops with eight 1-yuan (15 cents) coins in it. Each coin can be used for a single bus trip. /China News Photo

While some people support the idea of sharing small change, others appear to be suspicious of the plan, fearing that most people wouldn’t bother returning the money they took. Others say the scheme will soon be redundant given the rapid saturation of cashless payments. /China News Photo

Other Chinese cities, such as Zibo, have also piloted similar schemes… again with mixed reactions. /China News Photo
