Beijing's subways are to gradually introduce a new pricing policy that will charge passengers according to the number of stops they travel.

It is reported that line 13, which goes to northern suburbs, will be the first to introduce the new policy.

The price will start at 2 yuan, or 24 US cents, rising progressively for every 3 stops, until it reaches a ceiling of 5 yuan for 10 stops or more.

The capital's other subway lines are expected to follow suit in the future.
