Although some of the vending machines are located in the security inspection area, under the special guidance of the security inspectors, passengers who forget to wear masks can also pass the security inspection before buying the masks.

I scanned the QR code several times, but it always prompted "device network abnormality" and it couldn't be used normally. The person standing next to it didn't know it." Last week, When the passenger Mr. Shao was buying a mask at Sihui Station on Line 1, he came across a malfunctioning mask machine.
Moreover, an installed mask sales machine at Wangjing West Station of Line 13 is in the north station hall. However, the shelves in the vending machine were empty, and the slogan "Equipment debugging, temporarily closed" was posted on the window.
In response to this situation, the reporter contacted the manufacturer through the phone on the vending machine. The other party said that the subway mask vending machines are still being installed. Some machines have just been installed and have not been powered on, and some machines are not yet available.
