» Shanghai's Booming Subway
Shanghai began building its subway in 1990—four years after LA. It’s on track to surpass the biggest systems in the world.
“Most Los Angeles residents know the story of what happened to the Red Line, which was designed to carry passengers from Downtown to the sea but hasn’t quite gotten there. Only recently have planning discussions seriously revived to add a rail line extending farther west. Shanghai? It is well on its way to building the largest urban rail mass transit system in the world.”
