After Starbucks in a Day in Shanghai, and Starbucks in a Day in Beijing, I am thinking and talking about Shanghai Metro in a Day for a long time. The idea first emerges when the Metro Line #6 opened (my visit), but I was not able to really prepare for it. I talked with Wendy for many times, and asked her to be with me.
This morning, I saw Matt’s attempt to explorer Every Metro Station in a Day. Wow. We had exactly the same idea. So I twittered Matt that I will congratulate him for maybe the first person do that, and I will do it again to see whether I can be faster to get there.
Now Shanghai has 147 metro stations – not easy to explore in one day. On average, it takes 2 minutes per station, which means at least 300 minutes (or 5 hours), but most of the journey is round trip, and considering the transition time, it is really hard to do.
Good luck, Matt!
hi,
You seem like an expert on the metro. I have a quick question if you dont mind. I will move to a college campus soon, and want to know if you think line 11 will really be finished this year?
Thanks in advance and keep up the good blog.
