Wuhan is too large to consider walking everywhere, though the overloaded bus and trolley bus system seldom seems to be much quicker, and stops can be widely spaced. But services are at least regular and cheap - it only costs ¥2 between Wuchang and Hankou stations - crawling out to almost every corner of the city between around 6am and 10pm. Ubiquitous taxis are pretty convenient and, at ¥8 for the first 2km, not too expensive unless you want to cross the city. For short hops, haggle with motorbike and motor-rickshaw drivers who prowl the bus and train depots. Bicycles are difficult to rent and not overly used, partly because of Wuhan's size, but also because of unpredictably enforced regulations banning them from being ridden across the bridges. During daylight hours, there are passenger ferries across the Yangzi from Wuchang to Hankou or Hanyang; trips cost ¥1 and take about thirty minutes.

Maps of Wuhan showing transport routes can be picked up at bus and train stations, but shop around first as they seem to be either painfully detailed or almost abstract. City maps in English are sold by some foreign-language bookshops.

Useful bus routes
Wuhan's main city bus terminuses are at Hankou train station, Wuchang train station, and beside the Yangzi ferry terminal on Yanjiang Dadao. Staff are on hand at each of these places to help you find the right vehicle.

Bus #9 connects Hankou train station with the Yangzi ferry terminal.

Bus #10 runs between Hankou and Wuchang train stations, via Qingnian Lu, Wusheng Lu and the Great Changjiang bridge - not through downtown Hankou - in 45-90 minutes, depending on the traffic.

Bus #38 runs from Hankou train station through the downtown concession area, terminating along the river on Yanjiang Dadao near the Flood Control Monument.
