===Local transportation===
The [[Gaoji Causeway]], five main road bridges (the Jimei, Xiamen, Xiang'an, Xinglin, and [[Haicang Bridge]]s), and two undersea tunnels (Xiang'an Tunnel and Haicang Tunnel) link [[Xiamen Island]] with the mainland.

The main forms of public transportation in Xiamen are buses, [[bus rapid transit]] (BRT), and the subway. People now can use [[Alipay]], a mobile payment application by [[Alibaba Group|Alibaba]], to pay for the city's bus, subway, and BRT.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.taihainet.com/news/xmnews/ldjj/2019-07-26/2289498.html|script-title=zh:厦门地铁BRT都能刷支付宝了|access-date=16 August 2019|archive-date=16 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190816082717/http://www.taihainet.com/news/xmnews/ldjj/2019-07-26/2289498.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Taxis can be easily hailed in most areas of the city. Bicycles are commonly used by residents, especially on Xiamen Island. Unlike many Chinese cities, motorcycles, mopeds, tricycles, and wooden handcarts are not permitted in Xiamen Island (Siming and Huli). The city has upheld a ban on these vehicles since the 1990s. Electric bikes are permitted with proper licensing and obedience of traffic laws.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.whatsonxiamen.com/news39802.html|title=Xiamen cracks down on electric bicycle traffic violations – What's On Xiamen|website=whatsonxiamen.com|access-date=31 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160902154307/http://www.whatsonxiamen.com/news39802.html|archive-date=2 September 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> On the small island of [[Gulangyu Island|Gulangyu]] off Xiamen Island, automobiles are also banned.
