Since arriving in China, I have taken a variety of buses. To get to the bus station closest to my university, I take a free shuttle service from my university to the bus station. Once I arrive at the bus station, I can take any bus through Zhuhai's public transportation system. If I want to go elsewhere in China (as I did this past weekend), the high-speed trains are an easy and inexpensive way to reach a new destination! There are also many others forms of public and personal transportation that can be found throughout China.
The legal driving age in China is 18. Some fellow students I know have their licenses but do not have their car on campus with them while in school. It is similar to college campuses in the United States. However, students here can easily rent cars if they want to drive themselves around for the day. Aside from traveling by car, many students rely on the public bus system in Zhuhai. To return back to their hometowns or to visit another city in China, students often take the high-speed trains. This past weekend, I took a high-speed train to Guangzhou (guang-joe), which is the capital of Guangdong, the province I am living in. Within China's major cities, people use "Didi" to get around, which is China's equivalent to Uber. Taxis are also widely available and used throughout China.
