GuangFo Line (Guangzhou — Foshan Line) is the first intercity underground rail in China, covering Haizhu District and Liwan District of Guangzhou City as well as Chancheng District and Nanhai District of Foshan City.

By Taxi

Foshan is the third largest city in Guangdong Province, but it has much fewer taxis than Guangdong and Shenzhen. Most all the taxis are old. There are several popular taxi companies in Foshan: Foshan Shun An Da Taxi Company, Foshan Sunslux Taxi Company, Foshan Nanhai Guangfo Taxi Company, Shunde Hongyun Taxi Company, Gaoming District Hengli Taxi Company and some others.

During the daytime, the taxi fare is CNY7 for the first two kilometers (1.2 miles). An additional fee of CNY2.6 is charged for each additional kilometer within eight kilometers (5 miles), and CNY2.8 is charged for every kilometer beyond eight kilometers. In addition, an extra CNY1 for fuel is charged within the base fare and extra CNY0.2 is charged for fuel per kilometer once if the distance is beyond two kilometers.

From 22:00 to 07:00 the next morning or on holidays, the taxi fee remains the same as in daytime. However, whenever taking a taxi, visitors pay CNY1 for every two and a half minutes of waiting time. In addition, the passengers pay for any tolls.
