I found that the MRT system in Guangzhou quite useful for either society or travellers. The condition of the MRT station is clean, almost the same like in Singapore, and the languages used for announcements include English, Chinese, and Canton. The interchanges between different lines are also easy to access, as you don't need to walk very far to reach another line.
The cost is very cheap. The nearest destination only costs RMB 1, and the furthest destination is only RMB 12. With RMB 12, you can travel to other city (Panyu). There are a few of ticket - selling machine in each station, and if you are having difficulty or you don't have small change ( the machine only accept maximum RMB 10) buying the ticket using the system, there are counters where there are officers selling the tickets manually. If in Singapore, when you buy a single - trip ticket, you get a one thin plastic card, but in Guangzhou, instead of getting a card, you will receive a plastic coin. Be careful with the coin, you can easily loose it.
