œ Private car ownership in China is increasing at an annual rate of 15%, though it remains uncommon largely due to government policies designed to make car ownership expensive, via taxes and toll roads. œ Air travel has increased considerably, but remains out of reach for most ordinary mainland Chinese. Long distance transportation is still dominated by railways and charter bus systems. œ Cities are increasingly building subways or light rail systems, such as in Shanghai and Beijing. Hong Kong has one of the most developed transport systems in the world. Source: Wikipedia
