Cars were not as common back in the 1980s as they are in China today so most people trveled on bicycles. They rode mostly on old model bicycles. While bicycles are still widely used today in China, the use of cars has skyrocketed in the two decades since the 1980s.

Int the 1980s people in China commonly traveled using bicycles and their own feet for small distances. Longer distances were traveled using public transport such as trains or buses. In China, in the 1980s, less people owned their own vehicles, and even fewer people owned vehicles that lived outside the metropolitan areas.

Chinese cities, like many Asian cities, are densely populated and tightly packed. Most residents walk or take bikes to get where they need to be. Cars are available but their use was somewhat limited to the upper classes. Some of that has changed now with more public transportation available, and more car ownership.

A lot of Chinese people use bicycles to travel around on, from home to work. A rickshaw is used for a taxi service, the passengers sit in the rickshaw and the taxi driver holds to pieces of wood attached to the rickshaw and runs along. The rickshaw holds two people.
