I took a few taxi's to get around Wuhan as the tourist sites are very spread out. Taxis operate in different districts of Wuhan and you can easily take any of them to cruise the city. Fare starts from 8 Yuan for the first three kilometres (1.86 miles), and 1.4 Yuan for each additional kilometre (0.62 mile).

Bus fairs

basically the constant fair of buses is 2.0 yuan. some buses have those electric buses have fair of 1.0 yuan. don't get confuse with 1.2 or 1.5 or 1.8. As the buses move along their route the fair start to decrease from 2.0. The minimum it will reach is 1.0 yuan.The fair u have to give is mostly visible at the box where u have to put the coins. You can see it as soon you enter the bus it is just infront of you. Whether it is 1.5 or 1.8 you will most likely have to pay the whole 2.0 yuan and it will be comfortable for you too to pay the whole 2.0 yuan.

Enough coins

If you want to try public buses, please be sure you have enough coins in your pocket. The public system confused me. There were so many different fares:1.5 yuan, 2 yuan, 1.2 yuan and others. Every time I had to ask driver how many coins I should insert. Unbelievably, why the fare is 1.2 or 1.5?

Transportation in Wuhan

There are lots of bus service in Wuhan, they can take you to any place in the city.
However buses in Wuhan look really outdated and uncomfortable. I'll recommend you use taxi if your budget permits. Taxi price in Wuhan is also very affordable. Of course, if you don't speak Chinese, you need to have someone writen down your destination for you in Chinese. Don't assume taxi driver can speak English in Wuhan.

Wuhan is so huge,but it is not the excuse to have a so bad traffic.Rush hour jams are really terrible!
And the bus system is not so convinient as Hefei where I live now.
Tickets of some bus routes are 1 yuan and 20 fen.So prepare small changes before get on buses.

Wuhan has great road and railway,you can take car or train to get there,also there is a highlevel airport in the city if it's neceary for you.Anyway,so easy to get in Wuhan.
You will have no problem getting a taxi in and around Wuhan, There are over 100,000 taxis covering the city. The starting tariff is 8 RMB. There are also frequent bus services which are cheap and reasonably clean. Once in Wuhan you will see a lot of Pushbikes and motorbikes with carriages on the back, these are MaMu's which offer a taxi service at a negotiable price. MaMu's are a very popular form of transport here in Wuhan.

I flew from Dalian, but that's not the only way. Wuhan is an air and rail transportation hub. You can get anywhere in China (and many places outside China) from there.
I had a car and driver. Public transportation exists, but I never used it. The city sprawls over an immense area. You cannot reasonably walk the distances involved.

Wuhan Airport

Excellent airport. Modern and clean, but it is quite a long way. It took me over 90 minutes to get there from the centre of Wuhan (and 60 of that was just getting through the first 2 kilometres).
