Buses in Shijiazhuang, as in any large city in China, are frequent and cheap: just ¥1 for a journey, whatever the distance. but during the hot season and cold season some bus with air conditioner will charge 2yuan.
Taxis are plentiful and, again, will seem to Western travelers almost laughably inexpensive, with the flag-drop often just ¥5 or so and a delay rate of Â¥1.60 per five minutes. Between 1600 and 1900, don't bother looking for a taxi.
Most tourist attractions are located outside the city proper.
Traffic is marginal, except at high peak hours American rush hour, at which point it could take as much as 20 minutes to get through certain lights on many of the major roads especially Ping'An Da Jie, Zhongshan Lu, Yuhua Lu, Jianshe Da Jie and Zhonghua Lu.
