a pair of go trains entering union together

for you transit nerds: there is a cool section showing the evolution of the shanghai metro, including future lines being built

[4] the city also has a frequent bus system with a fully electric bus fleet and a BRT line.

i was only able to stay for 2 days but this city, although far from perfect, was very impressive.

[3] however, intersections are unprotected and the bigger ones have slip lanes where pedestrians and scooters share the crosswalk.

[2] most of these lanes are physically separated and VERY wide, sometimes wider than car lanes.

walking around, i saw them on almost every major road, so theres definately a fairly strong network.

of course, 95% of people are riding electric scooters rather than regular bikes.

[1] suburbs and small cities in china have some of the best bike infrastructure, like here in the "small" city of Yancheng, Jiangsu (pop. 1.7 million)

mickey mouse train!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The MRT is amazing, but finding a station, going up and down long escalators, and making long transfers is pretty inconvenient when going short distances downtown, and walking outside is a pain in the hot weather

and trams > buses

I got like 10 mosquito bites while filming this clip so please appreciate my blood sacrifice

They mostly run on dedicated ROW, and seem to have full signal priority, tons of interlining, and great digital wayfinding

if only the HK island trams were this good

Hong Kong's light rail system, with some great bike paths at Tuen Mun
