Having lived in Shanghai, I can honestly say that the metro system there is among the best in the world. The whole city is basically like something out of a sci-fi film: a mix of old and new.
@@samsungdelila5960 I live in Shanghai idiot, used to live in Japan. Japan is generations more futuristic and developed than China. Most of china is 3rd world and the people live in shit conditions. Shanghai is alright, but it's not grandiose. Shenzhen is newer, but still doesn't account for how most Chinese people live.
After I watched this video, i also watched the NYC subway. Comparing the 2, I can clearly appreciate the modernization and cleanliness of metro in Shanghai
1 of my countrymen was trying to convince us to be more grateful after showing us a photo of NYC Subway's W4 station & claiming he'd heard no one complain about it
that's because they don't have crazy and homeless people in the stations like we have hear in new york city I fear for my safety when going to work in the mornings
It's not just that it's only over 100 years old but also the state of New York and the federal government likes to torment NYC over funding for the NYC subway system. Because New York City is viewed as the "is the decadent hellhole" by vast sectors of MURCA! it is an easy target for politicians so thus politicians from other states and regions in Congress like to "bash NYC over the head" for their constituents back home so New York City has to fight tooth and nail for funding just for the trains and signals and tracks and SECURITY as the NYC subway is a criminality hot spot. The result is that the physical parts of the NYC subway like the stations are given no thought even as people purposely destroy and abuse the stations of the NYC subway............ and that's why the subway stations look like shit. The San Francisco Bay Area BART and the Washington DC Metro systems are both over 50 years old but the stations look surprisingly nice even though they suffer from the same homeless and destructive behavior by the public *but because both systems are "more modern" from the aspect of "architecture" both BART and the DC Metro look more "pleasantly aesthetic" than the "beaten down" NYC subway system.......*
You see, even though the pandemic in China has been firmly under control, people still wearing masks in public places. 👏👏👏👏 Also, look at the cleanliness of the metro and the orderly of the passengers. They even have both Chinese and English writings and broadcasting for the convenience of foreign visitors. How many countries in the world would be so travellers friendly?

Previously had the impression that structures in mainland China seem to age more quickly though e.g. Line 5 stations in Beijing's subway have white wall cladding with some grey stains. Hopefully newer stations have less issue
Wow! what a gorgeous station. A friend of mine has just moved this weekend to an apartment on Line 15. I will definitely stop off at this station to have a look. I'm on line 10 which also has some lovely stations.
The Shanghai metro system is one of the best in the world. It's a pity that due to pandemic, people outside of Shanghai cannot go to Shanghai and experience it.
Very Impressive. When I was younger like 25 years ago I was thinking about a career in Architectural Lighting Design (did Town Planning & Tropical Urban Design instead), however I often wonder about what the Career in Lighting Design would have been like given China's use of lighting on external facades and in interior design as seen in the video.
in the last 20 years, Shanghai metro has grown on average by 40km... and they do not plane to slow down. Ultra clean, 100% safe (0 aggression, robbery), very cheap, lot of metro one after each other, what could we ask more? Ha yes, only one down point, to transfer from one line to another line the walking distance is often a bit too long comparing to some other metro system.
that's what we need hear in new york city platform doors to keep people from getting pushed in front of trains its a big problem hear they just don't want to spend the money.
They have enough money in the world to wage war directly or proxy like Ukraine . American citizens don't matter . America's corporate matter . Their greed matter . They will do anything to save hegemony but will do nothing for homeless .
Some people think that any country that is not an elected leader is oppressive. But they can accept the difference between chopsticks and knife and fork.
not that much of an issue imo. It is simply doing work efficiently while travelling. since your chances of getting pickpocketed are near those of getting hit by lightning in most chinese metros, people generally find it better to concentrate on their work, or chatting with their friends, or whatever said person does.
Just visited the youtube video on the five worst subway stations in the NYC. ua-cam.com/video/hHp_qSZmvoI/v-deo.html This metro station in Shanghai looks more like a modern futuristic airport probably better, cleaner and more beautiful than many airports in the US and Europe.

@@joshtep6784 I'm no fan of the US, and I wouldn't deny that some ethnic minorities there suffer serious descrimination. But that is NOT an actual genocide. There are programmes (albeit perhaps inadecuate) to promote and develop those communities and America elected a non-white president. meanwhile China imprisons, tortures, sterilises, silences and even kills Uighurs and Tibetans simply for their ethnicity. That IS genocide. To compare the two situations is obscene.

It's like a futuristic version of the Moscow Metro 😳 Very monumental clean, and beautiful
Moscow is clean but old
And 100% safe also. never any agression there, and no robbery....

The last time I visited Shanghai (2005) there were still only 3 lines

Beautiful metro
so clean
Chinese are so creative nice subway infrastructure.
I love the green line 2 -- at either end is the 2 major airports and the high speed rail station - so simple in Shanghai and it all works !
上海南站 was my local station in Shanghai. Really interesting to see it has a new line! Thanks Gecko, keep up the great work (:

吴中路站还蛮有创意的，科技感十足。不像纽约地铁，只有铁锈垃圾和死老鼠
笑死我了
人家100年前已经起好，脑袋不灵光？加上以前技术简陋，你找上海100建筑一样旧,最多干净一点而已，，世贸中心的地铁不是很现代漂亮，，去查查啦，比100年没意义？纽约现代最好一样高级上海很多
Absolument fantastique
I visit there on 31st January 2017, it's very nice, unfortunately line 15 is not in operation on 2017
Looks like the stations of the metro system in my city only there's no platform doors in our stations.
Space age. Sooo clean👍 The Chinese government looks after the citizens well.
Espectacular 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰
It's looking like Cairo Line 3 Metro
在地铁车内很少人看书，都是在滑手机📱。我国日本也一样。
可能是在看电子书
看书的大多数原因是因为没有无线网络可用....

So empty on the video but from my experience the metro trains are packed elbow to elbow in Shanghai
Literally everyone in the station and train is stick to smartphone

就這？是沒看過地鐵嗎😂
People have to remember, NYC subway is over 100 years old.
Yes, it also has 100 years old homeless too =)
You can still clean and properly manage a 100 year subway system.
Stop giving excuses . Learn from Moscow . Renovate and keep clean .
So you tell me American don't clean their subway or even expand it for 100 years ?
