Here are some articles related to the transport system plan:

Beijing Olympic Action Plan (Part I)
　Transport control ─ we will impose necessary traffic restrictions in the city center and adopt new traffic regulations. Automobile administration and parking management will be enforced, and a social environment favorable for traffic regulation enforcement will be established and the citizens' consciousness of observing traffic regulations raised. The development of an intelligence traffic control and dispatch system, a modern traffic control network information system and a traffic security control system will be the key projects to be completed for the modernization of traffic control in the urban areas.


Transport in Beijing - Short Introduction
Beijing Metro / Subway System
The first new modernization of the Beijing Subway after 1969 began with the addition of a third line, running between Central Beijing and the far Haidian District. The 3Rd Line was first connected to The Summer Palace World Heritage Park(s), then continued through to what is now Olympic Park in North Haidian, the main location of the coming Olympic Events.
In the Future this line will connect further North to ChangPing Village near the Ming Tombs Mausoleum Valley, the end of the Line.
A Further two new lines, Line Number 5 and the First Phase of Line Number 10 to connect ChaoYang and its Central Business District were added, reaching completion in 2007.

At the moment there are 5 subway lines traversing Beijing. In addition to this, the Olympic Park and the New Capital Airport will have their own subway lines open in the year 2008. By the Time of the Beijing Olympics in August of 2008, the Subway is scheduled to have 192 Kilometers of underground railroads ready to transport the bulk of the visitors to and from the Olympic Venues.

Currently the most useful thing to notice when using the Subway and/or Bus Lines of Beijing is the recent Introduction of a Pre-Payed Electronic Ticket which is Useable on both Subway and Bus Lines. Now Bus & Subway tickets are combined in the electronic smart-card and discussions with Bus Personel in Mandarin can mostly be avoided. Just get on, pay with your ticket and stay put untill you (think you) have reached your destination.
