坐地铁、买票

在中国有很多不同的买票、坐公交的方法。

买票坐地铁很简单，每个地铁站都有自动售票机，人们也可以去售票窗口买票。如果你是短期在中国，这样买票是个好的选择。每次想出去时再买票就不用放太多钱在以后不会再用的卡上。

如果你长期在中国，用交通卡比较好。很多城市都有自己的卡，之前这个最常见于卡的形式，但是现在更多人喜欢都把卡绑定在手机上，每次坐地铁只需要刷卡。

Riding the Subway + Buying Tickets

In China there are many ways to buy tickets and use public transport.

Buying tickets for the subway is easy. Every subway station has ticket machines, and you can also buy tickets at the ticket counter. If you are in China for a short amount of time, this is a good choice. You can buy a ticket each time you want to make a journey instead of putting money on a card that you might not use again.

If you’re in China for a longer period of time, buying a transport card is a good idea. Each city has its own card. Before, this was mainly seen in the form of an actual card, but now more people have it on their phone, and all they have to do is swipe their card to ride the subway.
