Editing Hangzhou (section)

=== Public ===
Hangzhou has a bus network consisting of a fleet of diesel, hybrid and electric buses, as well as [[Trolleybus|trolleybuses]]. Hangzhou was once known for its extensive [[bus rapid transit]] network expanding from downtown to many suburban areas through dedicated bus lanes on some of the busiest streets in the city. However, as of mid-2021, all but one BRT routes and feeding routes had closed or been transformed to regular routes. Only route B1 is still in operation.

[[Taxicab|Taxis]] are also popular in the city, with the newest line of [[Hyundai Sonata]]s and [[Volkswagen Passat]]s, and tight regulations. In early 2011, 30 electric taxis were deployed in Hangzhou; 15 were [[Zotye]] Langyues and the other 15 were [[Haima (car)|Haima]] Freemas. In April, however, one Zoyte Langyue caught fire, and all of the electric taxis were taken off the roads later that day. The city still intends to have a fleet of 200 electric taxis by the end of 2011.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hangzhou Halts All Electric Taxis as a Zotye Langyue (Multipla) EV Catches Fire |url=http://chinaautoweb.com/2011/04/hangzhou-halts-all-electric-taxis-as-a-zotye-langyue-multipla-ev-catches-fire/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110618145049/http://chinaautoweb.com/2011/04/hangzhou-halts-all-electric-taxis-as-a-zotye-langyue-multipla-ev-catches-fire/ |archive-date=June 18, 2011 |access-date=2011-07-06 |publisher=ChinaAutoWeb |df=mdy-all}}</ref> In 2014, a large number of new electric taxis produced by Xihu-BYD (Xihu (westlake) is a local company which produced televisions in the past) were deployed.

Central (to the east of the city centre, taking the place of the former east station), north, south, and west long-distance coach stations offer frequent coach service to nearby cities/towns within Zhejiang province, as well as surrounding provinces.

[[Hangzhou Metro]] has a network of 323&nbsp;km as of mid-2021, not including the [[Hangzhou–Haining intercity railway|Hangzhou-Haining Intercity Railway]] which has a length of 46&nbsp;km. Major expansion plans continue. It is the 17th city in China to have a rapid rail transit system. In 2018, the [[State Council of the People's Republic of China|State Council]] approved the planning for 15 metro lines, including extensions to the three existing lines, scheduled to open in time for the [[2022 Asian Games]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=杭州地铁三期10条线路获批 计划亚运会前建成 - 杭网原创 - 杭州网 |url=http://ori.hangzhou.com.cn/ornews/content/2016-12/21/content_6425502.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180418132818/http://ori.hangzhou.com.cn/ornews/content/2016-12/21/content_6425502.htm |archive-date=April 18, 2018 |access-date=April 12, 2018 |df=mdy-all}}</ref> By then the Hangzhou Metro system is projected have a network of {{convert|617|km|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 5, 2017 |script-title=zh:[浙江]杭州地铁2号线西北段开通 22分钟城西飞驰到城东(图) |url=http://news.sina.com.cn/o/2017-07-05/doc-ifyhweua4014660.shtml |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020140005/http://news.sina.com.cn/o/2017-07-05/doc-ifyhweua4014660.shtml |archive-date=October 20, 2017 |access-date=2017-07-06 |website=news.sina.com.cn |publisher=Sina News |language=zh-hans |df=mdy-all}}</ref>
