Now that Beijing commuters can no longer enjoy the "cheapest subway in China", what would you do to avoid the higher cost of subway trips? Here are some nice suggestions from Chinese netizens.

1. Transfer at the right time. Get off the subway at the station near your destination and rent a public bicycle or walk to the destination. This will help you save 1 yuan.

2. Ask your friends and relatives to swipe their metro cards as much as possible, because the more you swipe, the more discounts you will enjoy.

3. Download an app that can help you figure out the shortest distance between your starting point and destination.
