A lot of the platform signage looks very similar to the platform signage on the Shanghai metro. I think the new Shanghai Metro trains look much nicer than the ones seen in these pictures from Nanjing.

^ Yes, MTR did some consultancy work for Nanjing's subway. It's listed on the MTR website. I'm not sure of the details though.

Mate, I don't think you should have said that, I doubt mainland China would appreciate using the traditional script...

Does it really matter that its looks and maybe built by mtr, because obviously the reason that mainland China cities have done the same style is that it's efficient and easy to use ,as you can see from HK.
