Just as a side note, public transit here goes to other cities. Not every five minutes, obviously, and at a slightly higher price. (Normal bus rides are 1-2RMB depending on the type of bus, where the buses that go intercity are 4-5RMB.) But you can actually catch a city bus at a city bus stop in Wuhan and take a bus trip to Ezhou/Huanggang about 80km away. Those buses go every 30m or so in the day and every 60m in the evenings.
