Getting around Shangqiu next month?

Question

I'm heading to Shangqiu next month and trying to figure out the best way to get around the city. Is the bus system reliable or should I just use taxis and ride apps?

ngl the buses are fine if you're just going straight down Kaixuan or to the south bus station but they stop running kinda early around 8pm on some lines. DiDi is the move for most stuff, but watch out during peak hours near the railway station plaza where surge pricing can double the fare. if you're staying near the old city wall area, the little green electric scooters are actually clutch for zipping around the small streets, just watch for the random potholes on Minzhu Road

yeah buses are fine if you're not in a hurry and know where you're going but the routes can be confusing even with maps. i'd stick with DiDi honestly, it's like 6 yuan for a short ride and you don't have to argue about the meter. taxis near the train station are the worst for that, they'll try to charge you 20 yuan for a 10 yuan trip. one thing nobody mentions is the electric scooters you can rent from those little green stands around town, they're like 1 yuan per 15 min and great for short hops if you're comfortable riding in traffic

honestly the bus system in Shangqiu is fine for the main routes like along Kaixuan Road or to the train station but it can be a bit slow and you'll prob need to figure out the stops in chinese. i'd say just use DiDi for most trips, it's cheap like 8-10 yuan to go across town and way less hassle. taxis are okay too but sometimes they try to negotiate instead of using the meter, especially near the long-distance bus station
