El metro de Beijing tiene una extensión de 450 km de vías por lo tanto posee una red bastante compleja, sin embargo es mucho mas fácil de lo que parece en el mapa.
COMO COMPRO LOS BILLETES?
En cada estación van a encontrar las máquinas automáticas que expenden boletos, van a necesitar billetes o monedas de baja denominación de Yuanes, a veces puede ser que la máquina no les reconozca el billete y deban pedir en la boletería si no se lo cambian por otro. El sistema es simple deberán marcar en el mapa la estación a la que van y les dará la tarjeta de un solo viaje válida para el tramo que compraron.
EXISTEN PASES DE UN DÍA O DE MÁS?
NO, a diferencia de Shanghai en Beijing no hay pases de un día o de varios, por lo que deberán comprar punto a punto los pasajes. Igualmente el metro de Beijing como el de muchas ciudades chinas es super barato y por pocos yuanes podrán moverse sin problemas.
SE DEBE SACAR UNA TARJETA EN ESPECIAL PARA MOVERNOS?
NO, en Beijing no necesitamos ninguna tarjeta de transporte para movernos en el metro.
ES VERDAD QUE HAY QUE PASAR POR ESCANERES TIPO AEROPUERTO ANTES DE SUBIR?
SI, como en todos los metros de China hay que pasar controles de seguridad tipo aeropuerto antes de tomar el METRO, la diferencia es que son un poco mas light que los de estos ya que lo único que tienen que hacer es pasar los bolsos y mochilas por el scanner. Las únicas sustancias prohibidas son todas aquellas que puedan provocar fuego o daños personales como inflamables, armas, etc. No hay que sacarse ni zapatos ni dispositivos electrónicos de la mochila.
COMO HAGO LAS CONEXIONES ENTRE LINEAS?
Como en todos los metros podemos cambiar de lineas con el mismo billete y sin necesidad de salir de la estación, en el metro de Beijing está todo muy bien señalizado por lo que no te perderás, lo único que deberás tener muy en cuenta es que a veces hay que caminar mucho para llegar de un andén al otro, o bajar y subir muchas escaleras! por lo que hay que estar atentos si se va a llevar equipaje y se va a hacer un cambio de lineas.
ES VERDAD QUE LA HORA PICO ES CAOTICA?
Si! recomendamos evitar desplazarse en las horas puntas que son a la mañana y a la tarde, ya que en ellas se produce un altisimo tránsito de personas por las estaciones. Y ahí es donde pueden haber complicaciones o las tipicas escenas de la gente tratando de subir desesperados al tren, también existe personal que se pone en unas tarimas para poder desde ahí dirigir a las personas como si fuesen autos.
Como verán el metro de Beijing además de dejarlos en los sitios más turisticos de la ciudad, es una excelente opción para movernos, toda la cartelería se encuentra en CHINO e INGLES, por lo que es muy dificil de perderse en él. Tener en cuenta cuando reservan algún hotel o algo y necesitan llegar a una dirección en este medio de transporte, de fijarse en el google maps cual es la salida que mas les sirve. A veces las estaciones suelen tener muchisimas salidas y por ejemplo la salida E puede estar bastante lejos.
A continuación les dejamos un vídeo de como es el metro de Beijing.

HOW DO I BUY THE TICKETS?
At each station they will find the automatic machines that sell tickets, they will need notes or coins of low denomination of Yuan, sometimes it is possible that the machine does not recognize the ticket and they must ask in the ticket office if they do not change it for another one . The system is simple should mark on the map the station they are going to and will give them the card of a single trip valid for the section that they bought.

IS IT TRUE THAT YOU HAVE TO GO BY TYPE AIRCRAFT SCENERY BEFORE UPLOAD?
Yes, as in all meters of China you have to pass airport security controls before taking the METRO, the difference is that they are a little lighter than those of these since the only thing they have to do is pass the bags and backpacks By the scanner. The only prohibited substances are those that can cause fire or personal injury such as flammables, weapons, etc. No shoes or electronic devices should be removed from the backpack.

HOW DO I MAKE LINES CONNECTIONS?
As in all meters we can change lines with the same ticket and without needing to leave the station, in the Beijing metro is all very well signposted so you will not get lost, the only thing you must keep in mind is that Sometimes you have to walk a lot to get from one platform to another, or go down and up many stairs! So you have to be careful if you are going to carry luggage and you will make a change of lines.

IS IT TRUE THAT PEAK TIME IS CAOTIC?
Yes! We recommend to avoid moving in the peak hours that are in the morning and in the afternoon, since in them a high transit of people takes place by the stations. And that's where there may be complications or the typical scenes of people trying to climb desperate to the train, there are also people who put on a platform to be able to direct people as if they were cars.

As you will see the subway of Beijing besides leaving them in the most tourist places of the city, it is an excellent option to move, all the signage is in CHINESE and ENGLISH, reason why is very difficult to be lost in him. Take into account when booking a hotel or something and need to reach an address in this means of transport, to look at the Google maps which is the exit that serves them. Sometimes the stations usually have many outputs and for example the output E can be quite far.
Next we leave a video of what is the Beijing metro.
