We've got three lines opening up in a couple weeks, not to mention a couple of extensions to existing lines; plus our stored-value cards work in the metro, on buses *and* in taxis (plus give you a discount on metro-bus transfers, and more discount after you've spent RMB 70 each month). And all of our interchanges are reasonable walks or are being redone; when I was in Beijing a few weeks ago I changed from the loop line to Line 13 at Xizhimen and the walk took almost 10 minutes!
