Bus
Shanghai busses come in a number of varieties. There
are the 1 RMB and 1.5 RMB non air-conditioned busses,
the 2 RMB air-conditioned buses, and buses with
ticket prices that vary according to the distance
of your bus ride. One route may often be serviced
by both air conditioned and non-air-conditioned
buses, each with a different ticket price. Air conditioned
buses, kongtiao che, in Chinese are maked with Chinese
characters or with a symbol. Bus lines of two-digit
number or three-digit numbers beginning with 1 or
7 usually have no ticket salesperson, and expect
customers to feed exact change into a money slot
at the front of the bus. Bus line numbers beginning
with the number two
usually run during rush hour in the morning and
the evening, and bus lines beginning with number
three run in the evening. The unnumbered Daqiao
Xian bridge line and Suidao Xian tunnel line connect
Pudong and Puxi. Expect heavy crowds on the trips
from Pudong to Puxi in the morning and from Puxi
to Pudong in the evening. The “XX Zhuan Xian” Special
line busses service Shanghai' suburbs. While here
are not many of these special suburban lines, the
ones that exist are comprehensive enough to take
