    Taxis cost 8 yuan for the first 3 kilometers and 2.4 yuan for every additional kilometer.  Starting in mid-June 2006 there is also an additional hidden 1 yuan fee because of high gas prices which takes the minimum prices up to 9 yuan.

    Nanjing has a busy bus system and a new and efficient subway line.

    Buses

     
    Buses without air conditioning cost 1 yuan per trip and buses with air conditioning cost 2 yuan.  The extra yuan is surely worth it in the steamy summers.  You can pay with an IC card or with 1 yuan coins.  No change is given.

    Being an important regional economic hub and the capital of Jiangsu Province, Nanjing is easy to access by rail.  For example, a trip to Beijing can be made overnight on a standard train, or faster on the bullet train.  A trip to or from Shanghai takes 2-4 hours depending on the type of train taken.

    If weather permits, bicycle is a great way to explore Nanjing. However, that is a big “if” that may affect your travel plans. Between June and August, the humid heat suppresses bicycle traffic during the mid-day. Some people may find it too cold to bike in the winter; however the streets are rarely covered in ice or snow. The rain is the heaviest during late spring and early summer.
