We know that it’s sometimes a pain to take the bus. We hope that these pages will shed some light on the situation. Ningbo has a staggeringly huge bus system for its millions of people to use. These few maps show some of the more useful bus lines. Just follow the purple dots to your destination. Even if you take taxis every day, a time will come when you will be stuck in the rain at 5pm with no taxis in sight, and the bus will start to look like a really good idea.
