| Why does the Maglev line end out at the Long Yang Lu subway station? I agree with many of you that the Maglev line should have gone down dowtown until you realize how loud the Maglev truley is (see my previous post). You also have to remeber that this was first and foremost an experimental line. So what do you do? Why not have it end one block away from the New Shanghai Expo Centre in Pudong. That is exactly what they did. That does make sense if you are an exhibitor or visitor to the many shows they host at the Expo Centre, that is, if you know that the Maglev exists. Of course, with recent news that the line will be extended to Hangzhou is good news and this will become the first stop on the way to Hangzhou. But trust me... you don't want this thing zooming by your home in downtown Shanghai. CJ |
