| I can imagine the confusions and chaos of a sudden addition of 58 stations with a few days and some new Metro lines during the last several months. From personal experience, I was often at a loss which exits I should take once getting off the trains. It would be very helpful for the Metro station to post many more maps throughout the stations or even posting big maps outside the entrances so people can check their routes prior to even entering the stations. I have been to many big cities in the world that have subways, some cities do excellent jobs offering information to riders. I particularly like those in Tokyo, Paris, London As in many other glabal cities that have subways to print small pamphlets showing the lines and their connection stations, Shanghai city ought to do this too in both Chinese and in English. Shanghai is not a tourists-friendly city. It's very difficult to ask for directions from people on the street or inside the stations. Having an information desk within each major stations such as People Square, Jingan Temple can be great helps for passenger who are not local. Perhaps the Shanghai city ought to hire helpers or recruit volunteers who can direct people where to go. TW |
