Take local transportation and see the real China. Using local tranportaion like Buses, trains and taxis will let you see China and interact with Chinese in the way you have had never experienced before.

Local Transportation in China

Many of us came into China expecting half of the Chinese population to be on bicycles. Nothing can be further from the truth today. Personal cars and taxis seem to be the most common mode of transportation today and in fact, you can hardly see bicycles in the streets in some of the major cities in China! Many young adults in China may not even know how to cycle!

Taxis in China

If you are new to China, start with taxis. Depending on the city you are in, fares start from RMB5(US$0.8) to RMB12(US$1.2) and run on taxi-meter. Taxis will be able to print receipts. Always ask for a receipt at the end of a journey. In case you leave behind something, a receipt will be useful to trace the driver and the taxi.

Public Buses in China

Public buses in cities are the most common and popular form of public transport. Public bus fares in China are extremely cheap and usually cost a flat RMB1 or RMB2(US$0.15 to US$0.25). You pay the same price regardless of the distance you travel.

Metro or Subway in China

Underground trains are not found in most Chinese cities except the biggest ones such as Beijing or Shanghai.

Even then, these subway networks are not well developed as compared to other major cities around the world. In fact, Beijing subway is so disappointing with just two major lines given that it is such a large city.

Ask a Chinese colleague of friend to advise you on what subway line to take.
