Beijing buses cover every part of the city, but it can be difficult to get information about routes.
The Beijing public transport authority has a web site with information in English and a %L{http://www.bjbus.com/map_e/mappage.asp]'zoomable' map to help you find your way around.
As a little snippet of information, the BPTC has almost 18,000 buses. If you parked them end to end, they would stretch for 216km . Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Main street of Badaling -
empty but not usually! by bazoeker, 4 more photos
1. the time spent is limited at the Great Wall
2. have to go to Ming's tomb
3. have to spend plenty of time at 'shopping' places
4 costs about 20euros.
So I decided to go there independently but found the information on the web to be rather scarce. Hopefully some info here will help others to this otherwise absolutely amazing place!
The bus which goes to Badaling from Beijing is 919. But there are several versions of 919 and the one that we want is 919 'kuai' (express). The bus stop is at Deshengmen, which is located close to Jisuitan metro station. So the directions are the following:
Go to Jisuitan metro station. From one exit (sorry did not note down which one) turn right and walk along the road. You should see a pedestrian overhead bridge some distance away (like in the photo). Walk further down the road so that you can cross over and take the overhead bridge and get to the other side of the road. Continue to walk along the same direction (you will probably see other 919s at this stage but ignore them) until you reach a bend to the left and a nice looking building looms ahead of you. Continue walking for about 50m and you will see a 919 signboard across the road, bwhind the large building. That is the bus that you will need to take. Crossing the road is a challenge, you may want to cross before you turn left at the bend.
The bus itself is a little small, and space may be tight. It costs 12yuan for each journey, and Badaling is the second stop (the first stop is Juyonguan). I do not know the schedule but I arrived at 8am and the bus left almost immediately. My return trip I arrived at ~12pm and again there was already a bus there. I have the feeling that the driver tries to wait until the bus is almost full before departing but I may be wrong. The journey takes about an hour each way. Theme: Bus

On every bus there is a person whose main role is to sale tickets. However, a few bus lines don't have a person selling tickets and it is written on bus windows. In these cases, we need to give the exact amount.
Bus routes are pretty complexed but thanks to the "route board" at each station, we can easily find our way. Or, ask the ticket person if the bus goes to your destination, it's the safest way to make sure it's right. So when you buy your ticket, you have to tell your destination to the ticket person.
There are different prices following the distance and the type of bus (air conditionned buses are of course more expensive). Generally, it ranges from 1to 5 RMB. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

While taxis may be way more convenient, taking the Beijing public bus system can allow you to meet locals as well as saving you many yuan. A typical ride costs Y1. However, it's essential for you to know your Chinese, because all signs along the bus routes are basically in Chinese. You can basically find a bus stop anywhere in the city, making it very easy to access. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

If you working or living for a long time in Beijing, go anywhere by bus is the cheapest way, you should pay ony 1 RMB every time, and if you buy a IC bus card, it will give you a 60% discount, that is to say, 0.4 RMB every time.
you may check all bus line and station information in website, but at frist, you should learn Chinese hard :)

 Two of many buses on the
streets of Beijing by MickeH
And the price can't get any lower, just 1 yuan for a ticket. 2 yuan if the bus is airconditioned.
But all the signs and timetables are in chinese so it is very hard to find what bus to take.
And it can be just as hard knowing where to get off.
So if you can learn to find your way around using the bus it will be the cheapest way certainly, but we had to rely on taxi and subway for our visit. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
