Man commutes between cities every day

A man named Wu lives in Tianjin but works in Zhongguancun, the IT hub of Beijing. To save on rent and avoid traffic jams and crowded subways, he chooses to commute each day on the inter-city high-speed train.

The expense for a month's commute amounts to 2,600 yuan ($425), compared with around 3,000 yuan ($490) for the monthly rental of a 30-square-meter apartment in Changping district where many Zhongguancun workers live.
