| Great explanation, thanks to all contributors. Chinese buses are great, it never occurred to me that the signs were that full of information, I just look for the place I want to go to on the signs, hop on and hope for the best. If I make a mistake hop off and try again on another route, most of the time I get close enough to walk at first attempt anyway. Sad to say I rarely take buses in Shanghai these days, underground goes to most of the places I take public transport, but it is always an eye opener and honour when I do. |
