Love my buses here in Wuhan; there are so many and so cheap - you can't help but love them, definitely the most economical way of getting around this gi-normous city. But in doing so you must put up with a few minor discomforts; like no queueing, overcrowding, no suspension, no sanitary facilities and no time-tables. They are very frequent though - every 10 minutes - traffic and weather conditions permitting. Our favourite is the 515, normally it takes less than one hour to reach the ferry terminal; but now our very bad narrow road is being redeveloped and the detour around the east Lake adds another hour to the journey. Bus cards are available from selected banks - these proximity cards save having a pocket-full of change and can be topped up at McDonald's at certain hours. The drivers are fantastic -we have seen about 1000 near-thing accidents, but these guys keep missing and without losing their cool and no blasting their horns.
