    If you are 60 and up, you do not have to buy a ticket, because for those metro is free.
    Find the entrance (and exit) with service man, show them your passport with the year of birth - that's it and you are out or in without any payments (i have tested it personally in Shenzhen many times)

      @OlisBigPicture  4 місяці тому +1

      You could buy the weekly pass, that's a new offer. However I've never tried it and tbh, each ride is soooooo cheap. In my humble opinion just pay ride by ride with your metro card or alipay/iphone wallet. If your kids are small enough take them on your arms and they go for free

    There is a little error in the video (11:19). The Line 1 train you're on is actually one of the newest trains in the Shanghai metro system, and the LCD screens on the new trains are all mounted in the middle of the carriage (between the doors), rather than directly above the doors. At the same time, the TV next to the door also clearly shows the terminal station and current station information.

    • @OlisBigPicture
      @OlisBigPicture  10 місяців тому +2

      Well I wouldn't call it n error, cuz the newer trains I meant have a LED lamp map of the stationa showing in red what's past and green what's to come + all the screens mentioned. Way easier to navigate

      It depends, if you have a (digital/plastic) card with “T-Union” sign, no matter which city issues, it’ll allow you to take metro in many Chinese cities including Shanghai and Beijing (and many other large cities). If you don’t understand Chinese language but luckily come to China with an iPhone, you’ll better to use Apple Maps, don’t forget to switch the layer to public transport, it shows you all metro routes of the city and the notice on which stop is temporarily closed.
