Task 3
Beijing has an extensive public transportation network. Subway
and City Rail with high speed trains running at intervals of 3 to 5 minutes are
the fastest public transportation in the city. There are more than 60 thousand
taxis in the city. Public buses are the cheapest means of transportation which
cover the entire city. The starting fare of public buses is 1
Yuan in the city and 2 Yuan in the suburb areas. It is also a good idea to buy a
Public Transportation Card which charges a starting fare of 40 cents per trip.
You need to pay a deposit of 20 Yuan and prepay a certain amount to use the
Public Transportation Card just like any Beijing citizen. When you leave
Beijing, just return the Card at any card sale counter and the deposit will be
refunded to you. The Public Transportation Card can also be used in Subway and
City Rails but no discount on the ticket fares will be given. 1.
