At one side, most of them are operated at Hangzhou Railway Station, while K8513/K8512, K335/K336, and T135/T136 are operated at East Railway Station. At the other side, all of them use Ningbo Railway Station. For such a short-distance trip, passengers can just purchase a hard or soft seat if traveling by normal trains.
 Aside from trains, passengers can also travel by long-distance bus. Duration is about 2 hours and ticket fare is CNY70 per person. Passengers need to fasten the safety belt when traveling on a coach, while they can move around freely on a train.

Usually, it is advised to use high speed trains for this short trip. First, there is no much difference on the cost if choosing a second class seat which costs CNY 51 – 71. Second, duration for a high speed train trip is 45 – 78 minutes only. Third, more bullet trains are in service daily than long-distance buses. Most importantly, facilities on bullet trains are much better than that on long-distance buses.
