London's transport services offer you a special experience of the city. Here's a round-up of the transport choices available to you.
London Underground
There are 11 colour-coded Underground lines. Services run regularly from around 05:00 to 00:30 (Sunday 07:30 to 23:30) on most routes.
Visit tfl.gov.uk/tube for more information.
Tip:
Always stand on the right when using the escalators (电动扶梯) at Tube stations. It can get hot and busy on the Tube during peak (高峰) travel times, so you may prefer to travel outside these hours.
Buses
A cheap and easy way to travel around London. They generally run from 05:00 to 00:30. Night buses operate on many major routes from around midnight to 05:00, and some operate a 24-hour service.
It is not possible to pay for your London bus fare in cash. Instead you can pay with a Visitor Oyster card, Oyster card, Travelcard or UK-issued contactless payment card. A single bus journey is £1.50 with an Oyster card or UK-issued contactless payment card.
To help you get home, if you don't have enough credit on your Oyster card, you will be able to make one more bus journey.
After this you will need to top up the credit on your card before you use it again. If your contactless payment card has been issued outside the UK, please check tfl.gov.uk/contactless before you use your card to travel on our bus services. For any international transaction fees (手续费) that may apply, please check with your card issuer.
For more information visit tfl.gov.uk/buses.
Tip:
Some bus routes are especially good for sightseeing — try routes 9, 14, 15 and 22. The New Routemaster bus featured in the James Bond film Skyfall and runs on routes 9, 11, 24, 38 and 390.
If you run out of credit on your Visitor Oyster card, it's easy to add more at:
Touchscreen ticket machines in Tube, DLR, London Overground and some National Rail stations.
Around 4,000 Oyster Ticket Stops cross London (Find your nearest one at ticketstoplocator.tfl.gov.uk).
Travel & Visitor Information Centres.
London Overground station ticket offices.
China's government has been trying all measures to reduce pollution in the past few years. Now people can enjoy a fresh environment everywhere. The following two graphs are adopted from the column of “City Information” on the webpage of Beijing Review.
Graph 1: Olympic Cities Air Quality Report
City | Date | API | Major Pollutant | Air Quality Degree | Quality Condition |
Beijing | Sep. 8 | 37 | N/A | Ⅰ | Very good |
Qinhuangdao | Sep. 8 | 52 | PM10 | Ⅱ | Good |
Qingdao | Sep. 8 | 68 | PM10 | Ⅱ | Good |
Shanghai | Sep. 8 | 67 | PM10 | Ⅱ | Good |
Shenyang | Sep. 8 | 88 | PM10 | Ⅱ | Good |
Tianjin | Sep. 8 | 54 | PM10 | Ⅱ | Good |
Graph 2: Chinese National Standard
API Values | Levels of health concern | Colors |
When the API is in this range: | ...air quality conditions are: | ...as symbolized by this color: |
0 to 50 | Very good | Blue |
51 to 100 | Good | Green |
101 to 150 | Slight pollution | Yellow |
151 to 200 | Moderate pollution | Orange |
201 to 250 | Medium pollution | Red |
251 to 300 | High pollution | Purple |
301 to 500 | Hazardous | Brown |
Notes:
API stands for Air Pollution Index(指数).
Particulate matter (PM10) is a major component of air pollution that threatens both our health and our environment. It consists of very small liquid and solid particles floating in the air.
Sulfur dioxide(SO2) acts as an acid. Inhalation(吸入) results in labored breathing, coughing, or a sore throat and may cause permanent lung damage.
