Today Nanjing Metro Line S2 opened. Pushing the 20 year old Nanjing Metro to over 625km in length. Line S2 is a suburban metro line that connects Nanjing with the neighbouring city of Ma'anshan. As such to better fulfill this role the line has passing loops for express services.

A madlad (集庆WANG) goes and flims a bunch of under construction Nanjing Metro Line S2 stations. Nanjing Metro Line S2 is a mostly elevated 65km long 20 station suburban metro line with passing loops for express and local stopping patterns. Costs 95 million INT$/km to build.

How cleanly shoveled the sidewalk is after a snowstorm is a great way to tell if an apartment company or frat house are aholes or not
(yes looking at you, blue roof building)

Another signage thing I appreciate: signing which side of the platform is for which direction before you reach the bottom of the escalator. Never seen this in other Chinese metros.

This is what the metro station that CNN called “post-apocalyptic” looks like now
TOD is an overpowered drug

Something something monorail through building

The local trains are every 8 mins though, and are already express compared to the actual local metro lines. Still would be nice to see more express services though when the infill stations open (maybe to like every 15 mins?)

Fuzhou metro has a skill issue in running an express service pattern. Seeing “128 mins” on a Chinese metro countdown clock before a US metro wasn’t on my bingo card

pear metro
(I’m in China for the next 3 weeks, so yay I’ll have transit content to post on here again)

@transit_simp Hopefully this gives time for the project to become even better down the line. An elevated automated light metro would fit well for this alignment, also mitigates the transit driver shortage St Louis currently have.

St Louis’s Green Line project has been canceled, with city leaders saying the city is unlikely to receive the federal funding needed to make this project happen.

see, it's just like having a real life zoomer tech employee: they won't complete a simple task when asked, and when asked again, they just want to talk about trains and japan

I asked chatGPT 5.0 to extract a table from a pdf, and it sent me a blank csv. When I complained, it responded by telling me about the Japanese subway system, which I was not discussing at all, and have never discussed.

* uses "light rail" vehicles but runs like a metro with a downtown tunnel. If you don't want to count those, it's 23. Then 22 if you count Tokyo metro and Toei are one system.
