Its external traffic extends in all directions, including airline, railway and highway, etc. Its internal traffic has developed into a system, consisting of metro, city bus, taxi and ferry, etc. However, the internal traffic does not seem to satisfy the citizens’ demands and traffic jams happen now and then, especially during rush hours and in busy areas. The government has speeded up the construction of traffic infrastructures to solve the problem.
