“Uncivilized behavior” such as eating or drinking on the Beijing subway can now affect passengers’ scores in China’s so-called social credit system, according to guidelines released Wednesday by the capital’s municipal transport commission.

The new document says transport law enforcement will “record bad credit information” in the system — introduced by China’s Cabinet in 2014 to track citizens’ behavior — for riders who have already been given verbal warnings about such offenses. Skipping fares, taking up more than one seat, and promoting products on the subway can also negatively impact scores, according to the guidelines.

In 2014, Beijing began punishing eating and drinking on the subway with fines, following similar prohibitions in other major Chinese cities. Shanghai’s fining system, however, was infamously unable to deter a woman who went viral on the country’s social media for eating chicken feet and carelessly discarding food waste onboard.
