The mileage of the freeways in Jiangsu ranks the third in the whole country, and the density of traffic comes the first in China. All provincial cities and over 80% of towns have freeways passing through them. The bus passenger transport in the provincial cities, especially that of the cities in southern Jiangsu, has mostly be very fast. It is a comparatively good choice to travel by high-speed buses.

Sea Transport
The main passenger transportation in Jiangsu is waterway transport. There are regular ships from Suzhou and Wuxi to Hangzhou that depart at sunset and arrive at sunrise. In addition, along the Yangtze River, Nanjing sometimes has yachts to Chongqing.
Bridge Transport
There are six large bridges across the Yangtze River, namely, The Yangtze River Bridge No. 1 in Nanjing, The Yangtze River Bridge No. 2 in Nanjing, The Yangtze River Bridge No. 3 in Nanjing, The Yangtze River Bridge in Jiangyin, and The Yangtze River Bridge in Runyang (from Zhenjiang to Yangzhou). Among them, The Yangtze River Bridge No. 1 in Nanjing is a city bridge used for both bus and train transport, and people can also go through the bridge on foot or by bike. The other five bridges are specialized as freeway, so only buses can go through them. What’s more, there are some bridges currently under construction or are about to be built, among which The Yangtze River Bridge in Sutong (from Suzhou to Nantong) is under construction, and Chongqi Bridge (from Chongming Island in Shanghai to Qidong) and The Yangtze River No. 4 in Nanjing. All of the three are specialized as freeways. Furthermore, a highway tunnel across the Yangtze River in Nanjing is being conceived.
At the present, ferry routes on the Yangtze River, such as Tongsha (from Nantong to Zhangjiagang), Tongchang (from Nantong to Changshu), Taihai (from Taicang to Haimen) still undertake transportation between southern and northern China.
