80. Q: Tourist spots in Tibet are sparsely distributed and out of way. How does one get over the transportation problem?

A: The most convenient, time-saving and safest way to travel in Tibet is by chartered bus - the most common practice. Many hotels and inns offer this service, but it is also possible to arrange through local travel agencies. The price for a chartered bus changes seasonally. The charge for a standard foreign-made cross-country vehicle is generally 3-3.5 yuan per kilometer, while a deluxe model may cost 3.5-4.5 yuan per kilometer. A minibus with 20 seats cost 5.5-6.5 yuan per kilometer. And a 40-seat coach costs 7-8 yuan per kilometer. When venturing into remote or uninhabited areas, a logistic motor vehicle is necessary for replenishment of food, fuel and other necessities and for emergency support.
