EasyCard experience
So I'm visiting your lovely city, and while most of my experience has been good so far, I had trouble trying to figure out how to get an EasyCard, despite my seemingly extensive research into this card (I looked at various websites and youtube videos to get every single detail I could)
However, something that I did not see beforehand was that apparently the machines (or at least the machines I used at the metro stations) only accept 100 yuan notes, and also, unless I missed something obvious, these machines only accept transactions of 100 yuan at a time (i.e. if you want to top up more money, you have to do many separate transactions of 100 yuan at a time). Together with trying to withdraw 100 yuan notes from ATMs (which the ATMs did not carry) and finding stores to receive some change, I ended up spending lots of time trying to get an EasyCard
Is there something obvious I'm missing? How do locals top up EasyCard here? Am I using the wrong machines or something? Thanks
