Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
China on track for
world's largest subway
Which subway system
is the largest in the world? The answer depends on which measurement you look
at, such as the total length, number of passengers, or number of stations. Here
is the list of subway systems in the world.
Subway, or metro,
system is essential for metropolitan cities to transport people to one place to
another and also to smooth the traffic congestion on the ground while not
emitting as much carbon emissions as other means of transportation such as cars
and motorcycles.
When you look at
China where both traffic congestion and air pollution are the major problems,
the speed of expanding its metro systems is much faster than any other part or
history in the world. The total length of the subway systems there will reach over
8,500 kilometers by the end of 2014. In order to operate such huge public
transportation systems, safety and security must be the top priorities.
Enjoy reading and
learning about how China is trying to manage its growing transportation
systems.
