> Does a low credit score prevent you from using public transport?

chinese credit score does not prevent you from using public transport, but only the "luxury" ones, e.g. High speed rail and planes. However you can take normal trains and buses.

Yes, HSR and planes are considered "luxury".

credit scores were introduced mainly to combat loan dispute cases in China, which is a growing problem because the economy is slowing down, lots of bad investment and missed paybacks.

High speed rail cannot be considered a luxury in a country which only has high speed rail.
