City buses are white and blue. Please board at the front door and pay the fare as you get on. The
fare per ride is $1.50 for adults and $1.00 for senior citizens. The fare may be paid by cash, bus pass or
multiple passes. Please pay the exact amount directly into the slot (夹缝) at the top of the fare box.
Remember that bills are not accepted and drivers cannot make change for riders.
When you wish to get off the bus, please notify(告知)the driver in advance by pressing one of the
buttons provided throughout the bus for this purpose. The bus may pass bus stops without stopping if no
one is getting off or waiting to get on.
There are five subway lines in the city. The fare is set at five rates from $2.00 to $3.50 according to
the number of predetermined "price zones" traveled. To purchase the appropriate ticket, please check the
fare on the boards installed above the ticket-selling machines in each subway station.
Pass through the automated ticket gates by inserting the ticket into the slot. When getting off the
subway at a station beyond the validity (有效) of the ticket, pay the additional fare at a fare-adjustment
machine.
