我很难过我的国家把我们纳税人的钱供养你这样的肉喇叭而不是去改善我们的生活水平。
@@user-sg6cd2ht7q 你的中文怎么学得这么差？这完全是机器翻译的吧？
Hi. I recently found out that you can even go from one city all the way to another city by metro!!
I knew you could do that in the Cantonese regions such as Shenzhen or Guangzhou.
But I just found out yesterday from a friend having his holiday in China that you can do that in Hangzhou, which is a city next to Shanghai.
Not saying that that would be a good option. But you could if you really want to save money.
I would recommend taking the bullet train instead for those journeys. Bullet train trips are quite cheap compared to any other country.
*@user-sg6cd2ht7q* 你的國家是哪個國家？？

I went on the Shanghai metro in 2018, and I was astounded. The network was so vast and deep down, you could take journeys of escalators going down or up, especially in an interchange station. Thousands would be on their phones because wifi was already widespread underground. Everything was so seemless and in order, and was very cheap. I’ve travelled on the Shanghai maglev and China’s high speed rail system. It is world class! The ‘authoritarian’ government, as the West LOVES to describe China’s CPC is very effective and made up of intelligent and highly educated political leaders.China is allot more modern and developed than I expected! Our media in the West always tells us China is collapsing.
中国政府不是权威而是专业，就像你生病了你想找个好大夫，而不是让社区的人投票告诉你应该是身体哪里出问题了。 中国的官员选拔制度及其苛刻，都是最聪明的人被选拔出来的，当然缺点也很明显就是不能有效的监督权力，顺便欢迎您再来中国旅行 ❤ 😊。
Subway is very good, mainly do high-speed rail, train, can reach anywhere in China. Four Seasons can be seen in one train
Every Chinese leader has been promoted from an ordinary person to a higher-level official through selection and election through his or her own achievements. Each of them is an elite among the Chinese people, so China is a country led collectively by elites.
The most popular media celebrities and Internet celebrities can be elected national leaders by constantly making wishes and speeches to the people, which is impossible in China.
上海周边的两个省份有将近一半的城市拥有地铁，他们之间有城际列车高铁火车互相了解，上海可以坐地铁或者高铁到苏州，苏州也有几百公里地铁线，周边的南京杭州地铁线路都超过了500公里，事实上包括上海和它附近的三个省份的gdp已经是世界第二大经济体，中国第四代核电站最近也投入运行了，解决了未来20000年的中国能源问题，时速1000公里的磁悬浮高铁试验线也已经建好了，中国基础建设确实做了很多
The London Underground is NOT DYSTOPIAN it is a miracle. The metropolitan line opened 1863 and was the first urban underground in the world.
I left my Back Pack at the Overhead Shelf during a Bullet Train Ride when I was in Hunan in April, the Train just wheezed off before I could React.
The Station Officer told me to Call 12306 to Report.
They found my bag at My Seat, handed out at A Couple of Station from where I was (at least 200km away I guess with the Train's Speed), and handed over to the Next Train heading opposite towards my Direction.
I went for A Roast Pork Supper nearby, slightly over 2 hours later, I got my back pack back with my passport and CNY 1760 (the Officer told me as I had no clue how much I had) in it.
Speechless over the Chinese Efficiency.
The American will never believe it.
Yep, or worst come to worst they will mail it to you, will usually arrives next day.
I once slept through my transit and the staff helped me to find an alternative route, got me new tickets and kept repeating my transit like a dad to his 12 year old daughter😂
@@xueshang1035 Wow that's so helpful :'
I can imagine the panic
China has good city mass transportation systems and also the high-speed trains that connect cities. It is really convenient for backpack travelers. More important, those public transportation systems are very affordable.
Public transportation in China is not only efficient, but very affordable also. Absolutely love your videos..pls keep them coming
It's state owned and that's how the government uses people's taxes properly.
China's metro system can be built efficiently and quickly because CRCC has its own tunnel boring machines, rolling stocks, engineers, and experienced workers. CRCC has all the data on hand as to size of station based on riders and number of cars required. almost everything is standardized. city or local authority comes up with projected riders, routes and station design. CRCC has everything available except design for station/s.
In Beijing it is even spectacular, as you can crash into another subway. 😊 And it only cost you 3 RMB to get injured😊
keep eating rats in NY subway station@@i-eat-you
@@i-eat-you 呱呱呱。。。。。。
in Singapore we have tons and tons of security cameras as deterence for people to commiy crime because you cant get away with it. these cameras are there to keep you safe in the day and even at night, something most westerners do not have the luxury of...feeling safe on the streets.
So the west will not talk about Singapore! They only talk about China! Because there are many cameras in China, the China government is controlling people! Obviously, this is the Western prejudice and slander against China, which is annoying.😫
👍👍👍👍👍💥💥💥💥💥❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯
Actually London has most tensely cameras in the world , The western medias just targeted china and made China like a hell . They do everything to smear China and their government, but in the western countries, overseas Chinese got attacked by the locals because of the long term anti China propaganda
The number of cameras in London, UK is also among the top in the world!
I don’t get it why people are so against security cameras. In China public cameras are only accessible by the police anyways.
Also if you have nothing to hide then there’s nothing to fear 🤷🏻♀️
THe cameras are not there to monitor every single person, they are there to record everything in case there's an incident, then it can be reviewed. With the amount of people moving around it would be impossible to monitor individuals.
目前全国人大没有通过任何对个人进行常规视频监控的法律，只有警方根据相关法规根据案件情况执行，此外交通法和治安处罚法等等众多法律允许对公共区域进行视频监控；当然其实视频监控在很多地方也被滥用的，比如小区物业和个人并没有对公共区域进行视频监控的权利，很多的灰色地带。瑞典这边正好相反，由于是直选，各地区都极力抵制或限制公共区域的视频监控，连交通探头都极少，连装个行车记录仪都不太可能，与此同时瑞典的超速驾驶却是极其严重的，基本上是10人9超包括我自己，然后黑帮和毒品交易大行其道，警方基本上对社会治安的治理处于黑进警退的状态，越来越多所谓no go zone

Are you serious? With the help of big data, the amount is never an issue.
@@hugooguh9014 they are pro xxx. Ignore them. They all took to the comments section to defend themselves.
@@hugooguh9014 And why would they pay for identifying 10 million people using it per day? They're not using it unless some problem comes up. Why would they care what an ordinary person going to work do?
Also ridiculously affordable. A journey from the very east end to the very west end lasting an hour charges you 1 USD.
Yearly deficit was 28.4 B yuan = $ 4 B running the Shanghai metro system.
@jimmylam9846 Financed by city's GDP. In the US, the money of GDP goes into the pockets of a few billionaires. In China, the money of GDP goes into the pockets of every citizen.
It's just a convention from the planned economy era of China during which all public transportation only charged a very affordable fare symbolically because of socialism. And this convention continues until now. Likewise, fares for public transportation are also very affordable in North Korea (Pyongyang Metro).
@@jimmylam9846I believe you want the government spend your tax money on transportation rather on military.
And in Beijing you even get subway crashes And injuries on top - for free😊
CCTVs everywhere is a must for a secure and accountable society, those who are against it are probably not interested at all in obeying basic rules and laws in public areas.
Besides, if nothing happened in a particular place, that video is not monitored a.k.a nobody sees it, and will be overwritten in a week or so, I don't see the problem..for the general public at least, for criminals or political activists, that's another story.
Yep, agree!
It’s a tracking system for people
@@KingKong-wb2mh like you're worth tracking down for...
@@JetWings it didn’t matter if you are worth it or not it’s a tracking system just like WeChat
The government is paranoid in case someone causes social unrest or even more they might have fun
Here people's taxes are used to subsidize public transportation. in the west people's taxes are used for wars in other countries, $150B++ for Ukraine alone 😅😅😅
It's not for Ukraine, it's just a front as with the rest of the wars to be laundered back into the hands of the plutocracy via the military industrial complex.
@@lollol-rq4mk yes, tell that to Putin. I`m glad USA and Eu give Ukraine support because my country is next in line if Ukraine falls.
@@fabiss23 Nobody is next; if you're even remotely serious and not an agency account spreading propaganda, you are seriously misinformed. If it were not for NATO countries purposely stirring up tension by trying to expand and push up right to Russian borders, none of these conflicts in Ukraine and Georgia would be happening in the first place. The US and UK and their allies intentionally start these proxy wars with Russia to keep the war machine going to sell weapons: dispell any idea that they are ever trying to "help" you. As parts of the former Soviet state, you should be ashamed for siding with the encroaching Westerners, if anything. Putin has no interest in expanding into Europe if NATO had seriously considered peace. Go watch the Carlson-Putin interview and get informed in history and truth before making unjust and cowardly comments.
@@fabiss23 You are overthinking it. That's what America military complex wants you to believe. First expand NATO to creat a problem, then sell solution 😂😂😂😂😂
1994 I was still a teenager and the city of Toronto repurposed the Scarborough Subway extension, I was stoked. Fast forward 30 years. I am in my 40s now, married and kids. Yet the Scarborough subway extension turned Light rail above ground instead has just started construction about a year ago. Talk about a life time!!
It's all the bureaucracy, red tape and all the political B.S. at the end it's the people of Toronto who suffer.
That’s the same year I heard about the railway between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. And now I’m in my 40s and the railway it’s still in the process. I hope I will see it one day before I pass away.😂
...but lots of taxpayers' dollars for Woke causes ! ...LoL
Thanks to the western democracy
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Perhaps the man who proposed to build the railway has left office, and the latter overturns all his decisions, or it is the rivalry between the parties that makes it impossible to continue, and this is the greatest defect of the electoral system
China has 9 of the 10 largest subway systems in the world.
In shanghai，20 lines and more than 500 stations are already in operation.
Shanghai’s subway operating mileage has exceeded 830 kilometers.
There are another 45 cities get their own subway systems in mainland.
All the data is constantly being updated, and it is very likely that it will be out of date by the time you find it.
26 lines
Bravo China, by the people for the people!
In fact, it's not easy to get approval for the construction of the subway in China. Many cities that are not particularly big are restricted, although they also have ambitious plans.
Even so, China still has more subway miles than any other country in the world.
The reason that public transportation charge ridilously affordable prices is because these services are subsidized by the government and the government does not deem it as a "loss" as private company does, instead it consider it as a necessary price to pay for overall economy and public good.
problems americans don't undertand that, they are so used to "pay" (aka exploitation by capitalists) for everything, it becomes abnormal not to pay. They love to be exploited to built somebody elses dreams
This is how your gov spent your tax payer money rather than wasted it on foreign war and domination. 😅😅😅
that is not how it works in US. they wont do it if it is not profitable
@@andia968 because in US war is money. No War no Money for the politicians. So they are keep finding new enemy every few years.

The annual passenger count for the Shanghai subway system is almost 4 billion rides, with the B.
I've been living in Guangdong for years. Your videos have inspired me to do more traveling around China.I think it would take a long long time to explore all that China has to offer. Thanks for your videos.
Shanghai subway is one of the few cities that can maintain relatively cheap prices and make profits. The subway systems in most cities have more or less financial losses.
It is public service and should NOT be profit driven.
The problem of capitalism is to chop up items into small isolated pieces when calculating profits. A cheap transport system may not provide profit as an individual entity but it benefit all people particularly the ordinary Working people save time and money on daily commute and it reduces the cost of living, etc., This will in turn benefit business and commerce to attract people. At least their employee will not be exhausted due to traffic jams, etc., when going to work. The society as a whole will gain and more productive. Profit is a term for a small group of people. Social welfare is for all the residence.
The west always says that we are a dictatorship and undemocratic, but the subway built by the government is not for profit. In order to facilitate people's travel, do you think we are democratic or not?
@@thomaslau1214YES！公共交通系统可能亏本，但有助于经济发展，不能片面地狭隘地看待。
I used to live in Shanghai and Shanghai's metro is the best in the world 😁 easy, fast, reliable, clean, cheap!

Great sharing. I love it. Thanks. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Metro lines here in Edmonton are horrible. The third line for 5 years is not still in service. In the Western world, we claim to have more advanced technology and better built, but it turns out China is a developing country. It has a better transportation system. Metro lines are much better than ours. Buses are not bad either.
It's amazing what untruths people are told about other countries!
Hello, foreign friend. I am curious whether the water supply in your area belongs to the government or the company
Not to mention the incredible high speed train network which is the largest and fastest in the world!
Shanghai's metro is the best and longest in the world, still expanding. It's not easy to manager 30 mil commuters, appreciate your videos
If you go to big cities in China usually they sell metro tickets for 3 days or a week unlimited... cheaper than buying single journey ticket..but you must go to the counter and ask them...can not buy from machines...in Shenzhen they have 3 days unlimited for only 70 RMB per person...very good deal.
Well, Shanghai metro is more than vast, efficient, and clean. It also offers good service Let me tell you a true story happened recently: One of my friends took the No.8 line at one night, and left her bag on the metro after taking off. She called the 12345 hot line and got her bag back in two days.
China's metro system can be built efficiently and quickly because CRCC has its own tunnel boring machines, rolling stocks, engineers, and experienced workers.

@lianzijin5955 Yes. High living expenses, lower paid, shitty winter, homeless, failing infrastructure, increasing crime etc all contribute the recent migration out of Canada 🇨🇦, but at the same time millions are coming to chase the Canadian dream.

One of the craziest stats is how fast the metro system grew, especially in the early to late 2000s… Something like in the period of 8 years they went from
Most of the metro subways Here in China are impressive since I've been in a lot of cities here in China which I post mini-vlogs about.
I love cameras, they give me a sense of safety.
而西方媒体把它描述成监控民众的统治工具，作为一个中国人我非常无语😂，欢迎来浙江小县城逛逛，你们会有完全不一样的收获！

What particularly impressed me was the manners of some Chinese who would stand up on a crowded carriage to give up their seat.Then they might have to stand up for 30 minutes as the underground train made its way across the vast system before reaching their destination.

In China, where good public transportation and safety are top concerns, cashless payments and various rental devices have greatly improved the convenience of people's lives. A lot of people mention surveillance cameras, but it's not safe to walk the streets in the middle of the night without them. Its quality depends only on whether you choose security or privacy. In China, most people believe that installing surveillance cameras in public places is reasonable and that security is more important than privacy. Security cannot be achieved by cameras alone, relying mainly on strict government gun control policies and strong police anti-drug operations. Many people do not know that in the last century, armed conflicts between two villages in China were common and fierce, which led to the later ban on guns. Drug prohibition is due to the Chinese people's deep hatred of drugs since the Opium War, so the attitude of Western countries to drugs is unreasonable in the eyes of the Chinese people. Infrastructure is part of the welfare of the Chinese people. If the government does not implement it, it will be difficult for good infrastructure and public transport services to reach today's level of development. While private companies may be able to do this, the price will also increase exponentially. Yes, I think most Chinese prefer to let the government handle all kinds of important things. People like to walk down the street without fear of being shot or stabbed with a needle. Enjoy well-developed public transport and convenient services. Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the system and model suitable for the country is the best. There is no perfect system in the world. Ideology aside, you might see something more different.
In fact, 99% of the cameras are video recorders rather than surveillance cameras. No one is monitoring through the screen and camera. The function of these video recorder cameras is only to play back and review after something happens.
This needs to be said louder!
In China, even if an ordinary person wants to take drugs subjectively, he will find it very difficult to buy drugs.
When you can't buy drugs, your addiction will naturally quit.
Management from the source is the most effective.
If you plan to visit Shanghai for days, you may consider purchasing a three-day ticket(45 yuan for 72 hours) or a one-day ticket(18 yuan for 24 hours).
3:38 Furina & Hutao on the lower right
Zhu Jia Jiao, my wife and I visited in 2018, is very beautiful and traditional, a typical water town in the Jiangnan region.
China’s infrastructure is truly the best in the world!
The world's longest single-operator rapid transit system by route length is the Shanghai Metro. The world's largest single rapid transit service provider by number of stations (472 stations in total) is the New York City Subway.
Great metro system, and lovely couple
I am driving on Eglinton Av. while watching your video. I will let you know when my car is ready to move one more meter on the street
"Having safety doors is sort of a good say ideas" imagine that.
The doors serves more than just safety factor in fact all metro stations in Canada should have them. When there is a disruption on one of the stations the entire metro network comes to a stand still just imagine the down time and people being late in Toronto's and Montreal's metro systems ! This happened in London this week ...a total disgrace !

Dude, you are from Toronto! Anywhere north of Shepherd and east of Warden will give you the China experience (other than the TTC) if you miss it in the future. 🤭
i was in shanghai like 15 years ago, then there wasnt these ticket machines, but for such a huge city, a 16 year old european from a small city of 30k people, who could get lost in london or copenhagen, i didnt get lost in shanghai, which is way more bigger. Signs everywhere in english, the metro system was great even then, maps well written, all signs understandable, and what was even more interesting, nearly everybody spoke english, in shopping malls, cafes, attractions, small stores. And then year later went to Tokyo, and i got completely lost, nobody could help with directions, nothing is in any other language than Japanese, and barely anybody spoke english.
Its kinda funny, that China who is kinda anti-western, is more accessible to western tourists than Japan, which is pro-western.
wow that's interesting info to know
Because Chinese government officials are not elected by the public, but by their political achievements, you can say that they have unrestricted rights, but they are really very professional
China isn't anti west it just doesn't listen to Western dictates.
We don’t anti western actually. 😂We just hate what some western governments has done to China like demonizing us and think what they think and do is so stupid. And we are educated to be open minded and learn from good points of any country in this world. So English is a must in school. Shanghai is a well developed city with rich education resources, so it’s normal they speak English well. We welcome any visitor with good intent toward China.
@@ShuangShi-dq4wf what i could say is, i dont understand why people think that china is an some opposing force, but it most likely has to do with the thing that, china no longer is a place from where cheap low quality electronics come, nowdays made in china actually means that its good and america is fearful that they will lose their economic power.

Wait till you get to Chongqing and ride its monorail. Not saying Chongqing's public transport is better but that monorail is one heck of sight-seeing metro line for metro lovers. And one of its lines runs through a building.
lol ayyyy.. I didn't know you were from Toronto! But yes to all this!
If you know that the underground pipelines in Shanghai have been complicated due to different colonial countries in the past, the manufacturing of the Shanghai subway has become even more difficult. If a city like Shanghai operates the entire population of Canada, and everything is so orderly, you will know how excellent the local government's management is.
My brother visit changsha the industrial hub of factories also well known night lift of this city all over the China that city is famous .... beautiful and people just amazing
Thanks so much for sharing, and glad you have a good experience for Shanghai metro. Sometimes I get so used to it and nearly forget how good it is to enjoy the convinence the government built for us...
In fact, we usually use the navigation map on our mobile phones to find routes. It will display routes and stops for you to choose based on the mode of transportation you take. I don’t know if Google Maps Navigation has this function.

prolly , he meant if google have navigations maps for subways systems in north america and not the subway system in china.@@duoyansuqiongburushouzhong
The subway stations in Shanghai are indeed old. In the eyes of Westerners, they are clean and advanced, but in the eyes of Chinese people, they cannot be compared with the new subway stations in emerging cities.

The reason Toronto has bad public transit is not only because of "incompetence" but more importantly, the economy is "Finance Capitalism". China is "Industrial Capitalism". Finance Capitalism channels money into the FIRE sectors (finance, insurance, real estate) for quick returns on investment (ROI). Industrial Capitalism channels money to infrastructure (long term ROI), industry, education, housing etc. Finance Capitalism benefits the top 30% of society where as Industrial Capitalism benefits the majority (Chinese socialism) and lowers the cost of doing business for everyone (i.e. cheap fares). Also, China's State Run Banks are 100% owned by the CPC therefore the State controls money creation. The CPC uses money as a utility for the commons (you can see the results) and since it creates Yuan, no "foreign creditor" can dictate or make demands. In the West, "private" Banks create most of the money (i.e. everytime loans are issued) therefore money is for profit because shareholders want profit ASAP. Unlike the CPC, there is no option to write-off bad debts. This is just a very very brief explanation and should tell the astute exactly why "The West" demonizes China at every turn. Basically any country with a 100% State Run Central Banking system (i.e. Iraq, Libya, Venezuela, Cuba, Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen etc..) is BAD because "private capital" cannot control it and take profits from it's economy (via loans).
a learned explanation, thank you.
Thank you for your informative video of Shanghai. I pray Toronto will be as well manage by Canadian politicians one day! 🙏
Steve, you can buy a three day unlimited metro pass for 45 yuan.
Thanks
Incredible metro line👍
Very good subway
I'm quite familiar with these places showed in the video as my high school is only one block away from Nanjing Road and I take the underground to People's Square every day.😂
🇨🇳Super China 👍👍👍👍👍
you are very welcomed to vist Beijing as well .
3:40 the coser was dressed in Furina!
I didn't realized how tall you are until you start pointing the station board with your finger so easily... :))
THANK God i don't have to take TTC anymore, I used to travel Pickering to Toronto , almost 2 hr one way, 2 lines, TTC was the worst non reliable , allways packed . Pregnant as well nobody would would offer their seats 😢
I actually like the Toronto TTC compared to Chicago. Asia’s transportation system is truly amazing.
Actually, you can easily add a Shanghai transport card (with the red card design) directly to Apple Wallet, which is super convenient. This card follows the T-union standard, making it seamlessly usable in over 300 cities across China.
Plus, you can also switch up the look of this card in your Apple Wallet, like the recent update with the Cyberpunk 2077 official card face. Cool, right?
I've been to SH back in 2013 and that's just an amazing city!
I'm glad to see you guys enjoying it as much as I did back then
Ps.: Don't skip the Shanghai's Aquarium! It's just gigantic and awesome!
If Shanghai is so good why so many Chinese are still moving out?
@OMGThisIsAwesome Interesting question.. You could ask the same about basically any other place just as well. People move around because each and every person is a different being, with different wants, needs, ambitions and dreams. They all move around (or don't) pursuing them or not even for some clear and specific reason. What I'm trying to say is that your question is just a vague and empty inquiry dressed up as an effort to reveal something mesmerizing, but turns out it's just text book example on misinformation. I strongly suggest that you take some time to watch the video (on which you commented) and rethink it. After that you can watch the full China series on this and on other travelers' channels.
tl;dr: People just move around.
@@LuisFGCruz Not really, more of my Chinese friends are moving out from China at light speed. While many of my Taiwanese friends are moving back to Taiwan. I guess huge number of Chinese people in China are losing faith in their country.
@OMGThisIsAwesome I'm really having trouble understanding why someone would reinforce this kind of statement without any data to support it..
And it gets ever stranger when you think that it's a reply to a comment of a Brazilian guy saying that he enjoyed Shanghai 10 years ago...
Beautiful 😅😅
I suggest you take a trip to Xintiandi😀
Great video as always.
But the Chinese currency is the Yuan or RMB. Yen is Japanese and Won is Korean.
In fact, they are all derived from the description of monetary measurement units in Chinese characters, such as 圆元 Yuan and 文Wen.
I went to Toronto in October from Shanghai and let's say the public transport options are more limited (although MOntreal is worse as no train to airport at all). BTW, in Shanghai the plan is to have to walk no more than 600 meters to a station.
Metro cheap but seat expensive..There are seats for elderman but who care..
Bus good but traffic
Shanghai beautiful city and safe
welcome shanghai
China ❤ amazed whole world 🌍❤
If you want to be impress by metro. try the meglev back to airport. I think its 300km/hr. Unique in the world.
Old metro stations in China truly look like Japan, they have a familiar feel to them. I like them more compared to new metro systems in other cities.
The subway stations in Shanghai are indeed old. In the eyes of Westerners, they are clean and advanced, but in the eyes of Chinese people, they cannot be compared with the new subway stations in emerging cities.
You're welcome to try some inland cities like Chengdu for your next visit
Chengdu Panda base. I need to go back n visit baby LeLe whom sg is sending back for socializing.
Generally, public transportation is great in these Asian countries - China (inc. HK & Taiwan), Singapore, Japan, S.Korea and to a lesser extent, Malaysia and Thailand.
taiwan public transport is pretty impressive. im not so sure about malaysia or thailand. those could definitely be better.
Totally agree, metro system shows how the city is operated. Our TTC is 3rd world and hate to say Toronto is deteriorating as well.
western priorities are simply different that's all, nobody cares about public transportations, public services, or infrastructures, the most important thing for them is freedom and democracy, and being able to vote every 4 years nothing else matters.
@@monipenny408yeah.. And the irony is in the end they want the government that they voted for to work for the people but in TRUTH is Oy the lobbyist is laughing to the bank and these are the same people that crucified China government for being a dictator, when China government is focusing on their people... Funny right the west
