Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Controversy
over business-class seats on Shenzhen subway
Business class
for subway? China is fast and radical when it comes to developing new public
transport, such as over 20,000km high speed railway network or recently shown
proto-type of the gigantic elevated bus. Now, one of the busiest metropolitan
cities, Shenzhen, has introduced a business class carriage in one of its subway
lines. It offers luxurious seats, space and comfort that most passengers long
for at a price three time higher than the normal fare. It sounds like a good
option for rich or tired passengers but not so to the passengers on the other
carriages who are more squeezed due to the reduced capacity for the business
class carriage. In the meantime, it offers decent travelling option for the travelers
from and to the airport that locates 50 kilometers from the city center.
It sounds
controversial, doesn’t it?
Enjoy reading
and thinking whether you would use the business class car if you were one of
the daily commuters of the subway line.
