Public Transport
This station is currently served by Line 9 of the Beijing Subway. However, the open part of line nine does not connect to the rest of the subway system, with the exception of the Fangshan Line. The closest subway station that connects to the rest of the system is the Military Museum Station (Chinese: 军事博物馆) of Line 1, roughly 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) away, to which it is possible to take a number of buses. When completed (due in September 2012, but delayed) Beijing Subway Line 9 will connect it to the rest of the system. Line 7 (est. 2012) will also serve the station. The Station's North Square also serves as a bus terminal for a number of routes.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or transport:
“The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
