How is Suzhou subway progressing?

Is it supposed to be a part of Shanghai subway?

Suzhou is 90km away from Shanghai. Suzhou Subway is not part of Shanghai metro.

Suzhou line 1 subway cars unveiled

They will be built by Nanjing Nanche Puzheng Cityrail Co. in 2010. Suzhou subway line 1 will be completed by 2012.

hmm
Yellow perillio was nice and humble to give you an answer and keep you informed. If you want so much detail about which prefecture which county and so on and so forth learn to use wikipedia. Instead of troubling others.

Wikipedia claims that Suzhou is a prefecture-level city, area 8500 square km, having a border with Shanghai. So Taichang is in Suzhou.

yes, "Taicang is a county level city under jurisdiction of Suzhou prefecture level city."

When I look many photos of China subway train inside, China subway train is so narrow. Korea subway train look wider. What is the purpose of designing this narrow model?

It's not as a narrow carriage as it seems, the standard of metro is unique and different from it of trains.

Depends on where. Beijing subway trains are generally pretty narrow. Shanghai subways Line 1, 2, 3, 4, and 9 have 3.0 meter carriage bodies which are definitely considered wide

Are you sure? then I can't see the reason why they designed it that way, considering the fact that all of the metro rails in China is 1435mm wide.

anyone can explain it? I'm slightly confused!

I know what you're talking about. When you first look at say NYC 3m wide subway cars, they look massive. But then when you first look at 3m wide chinese subways, they look very underwhelming. But when you take the carriages from Shanghai and NYC subways and put them side by side, they do look identical. I think it may have something to do with how Chinese subway train walls slope up

According to this source (http://www.suzhou-expat.com/Latest/suzhou-plans-subway-to-shanghai.html), two of Suzhou's metro lines will eventually be linked to Shanghai's metro lines 11 and 2 by 2020.

Shall the subway connect the railway stations of Suzhou?

What shall open first - central Suzhou metro line 1 or extension of Shanghai metro into Suzhou?

Will Suzhou's subway be completely underground?

Actually, the MTR looks similar to the Chinese subway system.:)

Yeah. Hong Kong MTR and Chinese subways look alike. With one major difference. Hong Kong MTR focus on business - Expensive fares, lots of advertisements and I never seen a HK subway station with artworks.Even a cheap printed art is very rare to be found.
