Reading ：Public Transportation公共交通

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.

北京的公共交通四通八达，地铁和城市铁路是最快捷的市内交通工具，一般3－5分钟一班，速度很快。全市有出租车6万多辆，也十分方便。公共汽车则贯通城市的东西南北，是最经济的交通工具。
