1st subway in China's Xinjiang to require riders to show ID
The first metro line in China's Xinjiang will require people to show identification documents to buy tickets. Though this is mandatory for long-distance train rides across China, Xinjiang's Urumqi is the first city to require identification for an intra-city train ride. This comes as a security measure in Xinjiang province to crack down on incidents of militancy and religious extremism.n
