Guangzhou Metro: Kicking Off My Trip with a Surprise Dose of Good Vibes!
-
If they could do it all over again, I bet Guangzhou would tear down and rebuild Lines 3, 4, and 5, especially Lines 3 and 5.
-
Line 6 too.

I've been to Shanghai, and its metro really feels out of place for such a bustling city. Even Changsha's metro is better, whether new or old lines. Why don't Shanghai residents complain? It's so dim, and the signage isn't great. I thought it was just one or two stations, but others were the same, and some interchange stations were even worse. However, the stations are quite spacious, and it wasn't too crowded, so I could usually find a seat. Maybe that's because I was in a newer district.
-
The great thing about Shanghai Metro is how comfortable it is even during peak hours. No line is as packed as Guangzhou Metro... For public transport, convenience and comfort are key; everything else is just a bonus.
-
Haha, this Line 11 only opened half a month ago. Guangzhou's Line 1 is pretty old too.
-
Guangzhou Line 1 looks a bit better than lines from the same period in Beijing or Shanghai; the maintenance is decent.
-
Huh? In Guangzhou, you have to climb stairs every time you use the subway. Is it like that in Shanghai too?
-
I think Shanghai is even more ridiculous; many stations don't have escalators or elevators for going up or down.
-
Wow, seriously? I visited Shanghai last month and felt their metro was so much more spacious than Guangzhou's, not even crowded during peak hours. At the time, I even marveled at how well-planned Shanghai was.
-
My first shock was the subway: so many people, and interchanges require such long walks. Plus, the escalators are steep, deep, and fast. As someone afraid of heights, looking down made me feel dizzy. I'm not saying this to criticize Guangzhou; it's just that I'm from Wuxi, where the subway is always empty – it's a smaller city of only 8 million, after all.
-
If you've been to Shanghai, you'd know their interchange distances are almost like navigating a high-speed rail station. Guangzhou is actually much better in that regard, aside from a few new lines.
-
Actually, the issue with Line 3 is that the trains are too short, and the service isn't frequent enough.
-
Has Guangzhou Metro really sunk to needing this kind of online promotion to get by?
-
Does Guangzhou Metro's passenger volume really need a boost from online posts?
