| I'm not so sure Shanghai will (or should) get rid of the high license fee. In a city with such a huge population and high density, it is absolute planning suicide to encourage everyone to jump in a private car. Sure, encouraging car use stimulates the automobile industry, but at what price? Many cities around here are already starting to resemble giant parking lots. How many more cars can they realistically let on these roads? People are always complaining about traffic gridlock and the number of vehicles, and yet fail to connect this to private car ownership. With 1.3 billion people, we are playing a whole new game here. Sorry Wang Jiang Shuo, just my little rant after sitting on a bus stuck in traffic for an hour :) |
