Nanjing light metro Work began on December, 2000 on the first line of the for this eastern Chinese city. The 18 km Line 1 opened in 2005. Running north-south across the city centre, Line 1 has 13 stations, 9 of which are underground. Nanjing's east-west Line 2 will be 25 km long and is expected to open in 2009. There is currently a ban in the subway on "food, beggers, entertainers, pets, baloons, and passengers who strip to the waist or do not wear shoes."  The most controversial part of the ban is the food restriction. The Nanjing metro wuthoriy is considering lifting this part of the ban, but claiim they are concerned about getting stains on the new subway. We at subways.net have consulted our most knwoledgeable resources in this area, our mothers. They recommend to the Nanjing metro authorities that the seats in the rolling stock and furniture in all stations, as well as turnstiles and ticket booths, be covered in plastic sheets. Anyone but the maids removing these plastic sheets would have the option of being fined or getting a spanking, a violation some may look forward to. http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200012/11/eng20001211_57491.html Construction photos Official Web Site New Official home page Photos of Line 1
