大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【中国的交通】。
在中国生活，有很多交通方式可以选择。去远的地方出差和旅游，可以选择乘坐飞机或者高铁。例如，从北京到上海，高铁大概需要五六个小时，六百块钱左右；坐飞机的话，不同日期、不同起飞时间价格差别比较大，特价机票只要400块，最贵的票要两千多。火车比较慢，价格也比较便宜，例如北京到上海的火车硬座只要156.5块，硬卧是283.5块。
如果你住在中国的城市，有什么出行方式呢？最方便的是坐地铁，不塞车很准时，缺点是上下班高峰人很多需要等。坐公车也是一个常见的选择，有可能你住的地方和工作的地方楼下就有公车站，非常方便，缺点是塞车的时候比较慢。有的人喜欢自己开车，更自由；有的人喜欢打车，打车费便宜还不用交停车费。在中国，很多大城市禁摩，所以更多的人骑电动车。你在路上可能会看到颜色鲜艳的自行车，黄色、蓝色、或者绿色，那个是共享单车。如果你要去一两公里远的地方，走路太久，打车又太近，那么骑个共享单车是最方便的。打开手机的支付宝，扫一下单车上面的二维码，就可以开锁。到达后上锁，小程序会自动计算费用，两公里大概是2.5块。
你可能不知道，在很多大城市，如果你想买车，不是想买就可以马上买。如果你要买燃油车，你需要排队摇号，这个是政府为了控制汽车的数量，减少污染以及塞车的情况。不过，如果你买的是新能源车，那就不需要摇号，这是因为政府想鼓励大家购物新能源车。现在在中国的马路上，你可以看到越来越多的新能源车，或者叫电车。除了特斯拉，也有很多中国本土的品牌，例如理想、小鹏等。
你最喜欢的交通方式是什么？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
