Shanghai subway map



This is a map of the Shanghai subway system (par 2010, cuz some lines are still being built. Line 6 just opened). isn't it crazy?! ESPECIALLY compared to Toronto's?? .... and when i left SH, there were no subway lines. In 1998, i think the FIRST line (the green one, and only like 10 stops or smt) ... in 2002, well, it was pretty extensive already, lines 1 thru 4 (maybe 5?) were already built, and running efficiently. the subway is awesome there - u can use cell phones underground, and there are boards at every station telling u when the next train is coming (and it's accurate too!), and there are TVs on the trains to keep u from being copmletely bored of your mind, and at some subway stations, there are markings on the ground to tell u where the door's gonna open! In Toronto, i only know that thru experience. ... and then sometimes the subway drivers don't stop where they're supposed to, so all of the "seasoned" travellers who got there first get screwed for seats. grrr....

Oh ya, and this subway map has the locations of all the McDonald's restaurants that are near subway stations. ... wow... promo much? ... i like Chinese McDonald's.... yummy chicken wings!! (i usually don't like wings)
