As has been planned, Beijing metro transit system will cover a total of 420 km by the end of the year 2012, and many more “bus only” lanes will be designated on many of the major commute routes in and around the city. Beijing downtown area hopes to achieve 42% commute by public transportation in the year 2012 – so as to relieve some of the major traffic congestion around the city.
In areas where there is large passenger traffic, more secure parking lots for bikes will be set up. In and around metro and bus travel hubs, the city hopes to develop a bustling bike-rental business to better accommodate for commuters making exchanges between modes of transportation. They hope to have 500 such bike rental spots set up around the city in 2012, with over 20,000 bikes available for rental use.
