How can I get from Shanghai to Tongli conventional bus (not tourist)? Or only in Suzhou?

You can take a direct bus to the town from Hutai Road Passenger Transport Station. The bus departs at 13:30, and the trip takes about 2.5 hours. The fare is about CNY 20. By the way, it is a non-tourist bus. It arrives at the town directly. :)

Or, take a bullet train to Suzhou from Shanghai Railway Station or Hongqiao Railway Station (about 30 minutes). Upon arrival, take a bus to the town (about 1 hour). The buses are available from 7:15 to 17:15, and the fare is CNY 8.5.

How to get to the bus station Hutai from the People's Square?
Where I can see the bus schedule to the town?
Or bus number...
Thank you

Take metro line 1 from People's Square Station to North Zhongshan Road Station, Exit 4. Walk west for about 0.6 mile to the station. The bus departs at 13:30. It has no number. You can find the Chinese characters "同里" on the front window of the bus for your reference. :)

Do I understand that the bus goes only once a day? And at other times we do not go away ?
