Although Beijing is huge and growing, it has an excellent public transportation system.
The subway is very good. The bus system, should I say, is one of the largest in the world. And of course, taxis are ubiquitous.
Won't a perfect blue sky go hand in hand with such a charming city, as during the Beijing Olympics?
Beijing residents appear to agree.
