Tram Line L2 also stops at the International Tennis Center station, requiring an 800-meter walk to the venue gates. Regular bus routes 333 and 756 stop directly at the venue.
Three specialized transport options operate during the tournament. The Wuhan Open Evacuation Express starts operating nightly at 23:00 p.m. after matches end, with departures timed to match the evening's final point. Evacuation routes connect the venue directly to Optics Valley Square Metro Station, Wuchang Railway Station, Wangjiadun East Metro Station, and Xudong Metro Station from the BRT platform on the outlet side.
