中国城市地铁出行技巧 | Tips for Using Metro in Chinese Cities

Single-journey ticket: Buy at vending machines, touch-screen select destination, accepts cash and QR payment.

换乘技巧 / Transfer Tips

换乘站跟随站内指示牌，颜色对应线路（如北京1号线蓝色、2号线红色）。换乘无需重新购票，出站前完成所有换乘。高峰期（7:30–9:00，17:30–19:30）避开核心换乘站，或提前/延后出行。

Follow color-coded signs at transfer stations (e.g. Beijing Line 1 is blue, Line 2 is red). No need to re-purchase tickets for transfers — complete all transfers before exiting. Avoid major transfer stations during peak hours (7:30–9:00am, 5:30–7:30pm), or travel slightly earlier/later.

实用注意事项 / Practical Notes

地铁内禁止饮食（北京、上海等城市有明文规定）。大件行李需过安检X光机。部分城市地铁末班车较早（22:00–23:00），夜间出行提前确认末班时间。高德地图地铁导航最准确，支持实时换乘方案。
