A little known fact about the Pyongyang Metro is that it is equipped with a modern, contactless "tap-and-go" payment system. Regular riders can acquire a card and load it with any number of rides, then simply tap their card at the turnstiles to enter.
Cards need to be reloaded in person at a few specific locations as there are no vending machines or Intranet site to do so, to the best of my knowledge.
I apologize for the nasty watermarks, but I believe this picture is more or less unique on the web. If anyone has additional information about the contactless payment system, please contact me!
