In China, 30 minutes on a shared bike costs about 1.5 yuan (roughly $0.20) — standard pricing for Meituan Bike / Hellobike, 2025. In New York, a Citi Bike single ride is $4.79 for the same 30 minutes (published fare, 2024-2025); e-bikes and scooters cost more. Converted at $1 = 7.1 yuan. Same half hour, very different price. #China #CostOfLiving #Travel #BikeShare #EverydayChina #Shorts
