The far side of the West Lake is villa quarters. Obviously the big shots don't need metros.

And then, there are tea fields and forests and mountains there. Not so many residential areas or offices.

China has very professional looking staff for their transportation I've noticed compared to places like Chicago or New York.

How do you know that? China has 50+ official ethnic groups that all look more or less "Chinese". The four workers pictured need not necessarily be from the same ethnic group. What are you looking for, a white person, a black person, and an Indian person to be working for CHR?

The problem is that the most of China is from the same ethnicity, Geography. This ethnicity is Han Chinese. 1.2 billion Han Chinese people live in China. Zhejiang province, which is where Hangzhou is, has a ethnicity breakup of 99.2% Han chinese and 0.4% She.

Coming back on topic, I think that the Hangzhou Metro is quite similar to the Hong Kong MTR (which is natural because the MTRC built it). However, some of the fonts used do not feel as nice. Overall though, it seems well-made.

Almost all mainland metros are similar to Hong Kong MTR, except possibly Chongqing monorail and Wuhan "light rail."

What does the staff do? Don't they only need a person that drives the trains? Why need 4 persons?

To make sure idiots don't try to force themselves into closing doors.

Which I am certain is an inherent problem in China and will be so for the quite a few years to come. To be honest, to a certain extent, this problem is present in Hong Kong too. People try to run into the trains when they think it may be going. Hence, the MTR too has some employees on the platform. I think it is a good safety precaution too and can be a good idea in countries where there is no platform screen door because then someone could get hurt or someone could try and commit suicide.

My wife told me Hangzhou subway didn't open. The launch has been put off to the end of October. Is that true?

Woonsocket54 · October 4th, 2012, 12:49 AM

spouse is right

hmmwv · October 5th, 2012, 08:40 AM

Spouse is always right.
