Taizhou Jiangsu, China Travel Guide
Taizhou (Jiangsu) mainly uses an extensive public bus network. The city does not have a metro or tram system. The bus network covers a large area, connecting residential zones, commercial districts, and major attractions. Bus routes extensively cover most of the city, connecting major attractions, neighborhoods, and important transportation hubs like Taizhou Railway Station and the Long-Distance Bus Station.
Main bus hubs are typically located around these depots and in central commercial areas. While bus maps are available, using a real-time navigation app is often more helpful. Buses generally operate from early morning, around 6:00 AM, until late evening, usually 9:00-10:00 PM. The frequency of buses varies by route.
