The invention discloses a QR code one-way ticket system for urban rail transit, which comprises an ACC sorting system, a diversified payment platform, a line-level LC, a station-level SC, a plurality of gates which are arranged in a station and are used for checking tickets in and out of the station, and arouter, and a ticket selling terminal for issuing tickets, wherein the ACC sorting system, the diversified payment platform, the line-level LC, the station-level SC, the gates and the router are in networking communication through an industrial Ethernet; the ticket selling terminal is composed of a self-service machine and semi-automatic equipment, and the self-service machine comprises a ticket selecting device and a ticket issuing device which are in communication connection with each other. According to the urban rail transit one-way ticket system based on the two-dimensional code mode, the purchase cost of millions of yuan of rail transit single line fare collection system equipment and one-way tickets is greatly reduced, the failure rate of an urban rail automatic fare collection system is reduced by more than 40%, and the operation and maintenance cost and the ticket management difficulty of the system are greatly reduced; and meanwhile, one-way ticket contact with epidemic prevention vulnerabilities under normalized epidemic situation conditions can be effectively avoided.
