Those within the four central districts can only register the vehicle under a company name or under someone else's name. 3. Different prices: Jing A is more expensive, while Jing B is relatively cheaper. 4. Different issuance statuses: After 1996, the issuance of Jing A motorcycle license plates was halted until 2018 when they were reintroduced in limited quantities, whereas Jing B plates have been continuously issued.
