Of all prices in the city, those of transport are the few that have de flated. With just RMB100
loaded onto your Yikatong travel card, you can easily jaunt around the city on the bus or
subway for a month or three. Pedal power is no longer the main form of transport, having
been squeezed out by cars, electric bikes, and scooters, but wide bike lanes remain on every
street and cheap bicycles are easy to find, so it's still a good option.
For further distances or greater comfort, Beijing taxis are expensive by comparison but
still cheap from an international perspective, and many expats travel in nothing else. Taxi
drivers usually speak no English whatsoever, but, despite some misconceptions, they are
literate, educated people. If you have your destination written down in Chinese for them,
they'll usually have no problem finding it.
