Transport - Getting around Beijing
Although Beijing's public transport system
is extensive, including a comprehensive bus network and the subway,
many visitors soon tire of hot overcrowded buses and rush hour
congestion underground and make use of taxis. Cycling is also a
good alternative with numerous bicycle rentals around the city, and
well-defined bike lanes, bike parks and the company of millions of
other cyclists, especially at rush hour. It may look intimidating,
but can be the best way to get around for the more adventurous
traveller. The subway outside of rush hour is the fastest and
easiest form of public transport to use. It is cheap, although not
very extensive, and is much more pleasant than taking a bus. Buses
are also very cheap, but uncomfortably crowded and care should be
taken of valuables and bags. Taxis are plentiful and metered, and
are the most common form of transport for visitors, but it is
necessary to have the destination written in Chinese characters as
drivers rarely speak English. Taxis come in all shapes and sizes
with fares printed in the back window; generally the older and
smaller the car the cheaper the fare, with luxury sedans that
congregate around the main hotels and tourist sites the most
expensive. Car hire is not recommended and generally not available
- cars must be hired with a driver and are restricted to the city
limits.
