China is a very big country. China has the biggest population in the world. It is very hard for every single person to have a car. It would be very hard on the environment for every person to have a car and there would be no spaces on the road. Also some parts of Xhina are in severe poverty and don’t have enough money for public transportation.

Some of the main types of transportation in Xhina are by bus and train. Some of the more populated cities have more lavish types of transportation like double-decker buses. The buses have padded seats that can heat when cold outside. They also have personal air conditioners right above your seat for your use. They have special bus magazines prepared by the bus company every month. The trains are even more stylish then that. Trains have personal cabins for you and who ever you are traveling with. You can request food service to you cabin or there is a special food car where you can order food form a menu. Also there are recreation cars as well as lounge cars. The recreation cars have board games and table games that you can play while you ride. The Lounge has a TV and several couches that you can sit and talk on. For more local village type transports, many villages have people who pull by feet or bike a rickshaw. Many people still do this and it is very traditional. There are also some carriages that people own and can give people rides for a small fee.

Chinese Transportation Web site reviews

http://www.asianinfo.org/asianinfo/china/pro-transportation.htm

This web site gives very detailed information. It talks about actual measurements of
weight that the actual different devices can hold. It also talks about how it has
changed through the years.

This web site is good because it has a lot of pictures and visuals. The visuals are
real and show the real china. The main focus of this page are the visuals. What it
lacks in words it makes up in pictures.

This talks about a lot of the lower class public transportation. It has each aspect of
transportation and goes into detail. it is very good because it talks about each one
individually and not all together.
