In Tianjin, China, a group of people are waiting at the bus stop. Soon, the special bus comes to the bus stop. It looks like a panda with black ears and black eyes. After getting on the bus, people only need to buy their tickets by scanning（扫描）their hands! About one minute later, the bus begins itself-driving mode. When the traffic lights turn red or when it reaches the bus stop, it stops automatically. There is also a robot on the bus. People can talk to it and ask it for help. If there is a bad person on the bus, the robot will call the police. “It’s very convenient,” says a woman taking the bus. “And kids love it.”
A company called Deep Blue Technology makes this kind of buses. They’re working in ten cities all over China. More cities in China will put this kind of buses into use this year. I think soon you can take the bus in your city.
Now smart buses are no longer buses in the future. Would you like to take a ride on the smart bus?

Some students who are from all around the world are talking about the way they go to school on School Bus Bar at http://tieba.baidu.com/.
| In our country, most of the students go to school by school bus. For me, I go to school by school bus every day. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to school, because my home is far from the school. The school bus is not only beautiful but wide and strong. It makes me feel safe when I am in school bus. Mary Smith from America |
| I think riding is one of the best ways to go to school because my school isn’t very far from my home. It takes me about 15 minutes. I like riding a bike and I think it’s good for my health. But nowadays, the number of the cars is becoming larger and larger and the crowded traffic will certainly bring about the risk of safety. So my parents hope that I can take the school bus to school. Li Ping from Wenzhou |

I have to get up one hour earlier than before. I spend one and a half hours getting to school. And now it’s very cold outside. I hope to have a school bus. Bing Bing from Jiangsu |

When people from other countries travel around China, I always advise them to take the train to different cities. Although travelling by plane is faster than by train, flying from airport to airport in China would be no different. However you may experience what the Chinese life is like on the train. If you take the train, you will be in with ordinary (普通的) Chinese people. You can listen what they’re talking. You can watch what they’re doing. Everyone I know who has travelled on a train in China tells me that’s an interesting experience.
Except the wonderful experience, travelling by train is quite comfortable. If you are on the sleeper train (卧铺车), then you have a bed and plenty space to move and relax. If you are on the high speed train then you have a big space for seat. The ride is smooth (平稳的) and the trains usually arrive on time.
Of course money is another reason to choose the train. The price of a train ticket is often less than that of an air plane. Even a first class ticket of the high speed train is much cheaper than a tourist ticket of the plane. The night trains are also good choices. It can save you the money of one night’s hotel room.
