Wuxi is currently home to four subway lines with a total length of 111.12 kilometers, and two intercity rails and a fifth subway line are under construction.

More than 3,000 buses, 86.79 percent of which are new energy and clean energy vehicles, are operating on the 310 routes in the city.

The city has also adjusted 119 bus routes to make transferring between bus and subway more convenient and arranged more shared bikes around bus and subway stations.

People with a Wuxi bus card can enjoy a free ride when changing from a bus to another means of transportation within 90 minutes.
