Chinese Public Transit is literally too good.

Something worth mentioning: The lack of car traffic is thanks to so many people are taking public transit or other alternatives.

The China government has built the best infrastructure for the people, and everyone can enjoy it.

I love Shenzhen, such a cool, clean, green, modern city

I remember when I was in China, there was an article in my college English textbook explaining why the western world built public transportation to resolve the traffic issues😂 after I moved to the states I found out it's not true. People would rather have bad traffic than public transportation for the homeless and poor.

This is literally the first video that's come up on my feed on Chinese transit. Thanks for posting!

Where I live taxis and ubers are way overpriced Your taking your life into you own hands riding a bike And you have to arm yourself with defensive items, taking public transit... They literally closed down Psychiatric hospitals and dumped these people on the streets

Very good public transit

Frankly, China have the most comprehensive public transportations anywhere in the world. No other countries can match them.😊 Most other countries you take what's available & make do - take it or leave it. That's what spoil most people & the nitpicking starts ... 😅

Nice video.... 3 dollars wouldnt even give me a 1 way bus fare where I live

You didn't use the electric scooter/moped option. Good stuff btw, I found that amusing.

03:00 It's funny. It seems that you are the only one who really paid the bus fee in the bus.

Hi James, as a LA resident, I hear you! haha!

This is so fun! I recently learned you could take high speed train within Shenzhen. I took a train from Shenzhen North to Pingshan pretty killer deal actually, but metro still has my <3 I have never gotten car sick as much as I do in the taxis here.

Thumbed this up because I appreciate the video and comparison. As a swede perhaps our public transport sucks (and very expensive) because I actually really appreciate the options in the places around china I've been. I've spent most time in shenzhen and cities around and westward towards maoming and neigbouring places. didi che is awesome and cheap, I really like bus and subway in shenzhen, clean and fast. And biking is less marginalized than here in stockholm where I am near death every day with cars and crazy bikers not knowing the law. I might afree agree with taxis in china, usually a bit smelly and more chaotic vibe!

i once missed a Metro train, and saw the screen said 'next train: 13 mins', and i was so angry , i was like ' what the hell' because normally the next train only take 3 or 5 mins.

Great experiment 🎉🎉

Getting a license is cheap, even for foreigners. As long as you have a driver's license from your home country, you only need to take the written test which can be in English. Buying a car is quite cheap too only a couple thousand RMB a month. I pay 1,800rmb and an average of 250rmb a month to charge my car. Check out the new XiaoMi SU7. Looks like a Porsche Taycan and only costs 216,000rmb to 300,000rmb.

Nice LK easter egg after the bus arrival haha. Compared to my transportation options in the US, these all sound amazing. Over here, The bus and subway will almost certainly subject you to crazy people and people high on fentanyl. An 18 min taxi will be $40+ unless they take you for a joyride. And biking is pretty dicey as you’ve said… The construction comment made me smile since my experience is that cracks and potholes are rarely addressed over here 😢. I have an off topic question and I’m not sure if you can speak to this but… In the media over here we keep getting blasted with stories about Chinese youth unemployment and a property market collapse potentially destroying the Chinese economy. What’s your perspective? Thanks for sharing your experience! I find your content super interesting… even the non luckin stuff :)

Overcapacity of course!

FWIW, strongly disagree about city being well setup for biking, (maybe some areas of the city are?) Shenzhen is the worst city in China I've lived in for biking. Bike lanes frequently take you a longer distance than car traffic (bridges you must walk over etc). Many areas have no bike lanes and so you're forced on to the sidewalk because shenzhen forces bikes off the road. Making the sidewalk also awful for pedestrians. Bike lanes are also comparatively narrow, and so much roadway is wasted with on street parking.
