City Bus
The central area of Changchun is not very spacious, but city bus routes here amount to more than 100 and can take you to almost every part of the City. Generally speaking the ticket fee is 1 Yuan in driver only buses; in those busses with conductors, the ticket fee is based on the numbers of stops you travel. Please do remember to take small change when you use buses!

Some of the Changchun minibuses will stop whenever you wave to the driver. Surely they will make your trip more convenient comparing taking those big buses. No.264 bus can be taken as a special tourist line, for it passes many scenic spots, such as the Film Palace, Nanhu Park, Wenhua Plaza and the Puppet Emperor's Palace.

Taxi
As the home of Yiqi (Changchun First Automobile Factory), taxies are readily available here with a total of some 25,000 taxies providing services to locals and tourists alike. The taxis of Changchun include the models Hongqi, Audi, Jetta, etc. with Jetta in the main role with the usual price for a taxi being RMB 5 for the first 2.5 kilometers (about 1.9 miles) and an additional charge of RMB2 for every subsequent kilometer. Therefore if you are traveling in a small group, it is more cost effective to take a taxi.

Tram
The No.54 tram makes Changchun one of the few cities still running trams within China. After renovation and maintenance this tram service is in very good condition and affords great comfort. No.54 Tram starts from Hongqi Jie and stops at Heping Dalu passing Changchun Film Studio, Changchun Film City and other important scenic attractions. The No.54 tram has itself become a highlight of Changchun tourism because its nostalgic flavor reminds people of times past. Don't miss this tram whenever you come to visit Changchun.
