Shanghai metro keeps improving itself. Recently, automatically glass doors are installed at Xujiahui Metro Station. Here is the latest report by Jian Shuo, from Shanghai. (The typical tone of a journalist, right?)
The door in Xujiahui is completely put into production. It opens a little bit before the train doors open, and closes, when the doors of train carts are completely closed. This may cause the train to stop a little bit longer than before.
The platform was cut by about 30 cm to allow the installation of the door. The platform edge was cut in People's Square, and other stations. Xujiahui is the first to complete the project, with all the stations in Metro Line #1 following.
Typo
Along with the automatic door, I found some improvement in the Long Yang Road station also. They have many typos, as if Shanghai Metro is as casual and unprofessional as Wangjianshuo's blog.
Recently, they used white tape to cover the wrong translations. It takes time to correctly, but it is the first step to show improvement since I found the error in 2004.
The covered sentence are:
After first under on. Do riding with civility

Impolite metro staff, dirty ground, and uncivilized passengers... Oh, no, SH is far behind HK...
So now, two years after the project to put doors on line one was announced (and was billed as `to be completed by the end of the year' in 2004), one station has doors. How long until the rest of the stations get them?

Alight first before boarding. Ride with courtesy.
