Bus No.s 1-99 run within the 3rd Ring Road;
No.s 100-199 are trolleys, running within the 2nd Ring Road;
No.s 200-299 are night routes, operation between 23:00 to 05:00 of the next day;

4. Almost all of the bus stops were given the names from their nearby symbolic buildings or architectures, roads especially crossroads, scenic spots, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, schools and so on. However, there may be several bus stops set around the same building or road. Take the well-known Tiananmen for example, there are altogether four stops distributed its east and west, namely, Tiananmen East, Tiananmen Square East, Tiananmen West and Tiananmen Square West.
5. To decrease the translation difference between Chinese and English, the Chinese Pinyin of the bus stops enjoys a priority in our searching system.
