It finally happened. They opened Subway Line 10! I wrote in my first blog entry that this subway would be open by June 30. Turns out it was about three weeks late. But better late than never!
I took this brand-new subway today. It has all the trappings of modern transportation, including air conditioning, electronic maps, and a touchless fare system (which is system-wide). In a brisk 35 minutes I was transported from ZhiChunLu to TuanJieHu. It wasn't even crowded (by Chinese standards), so I was able to actually sit down for part of the ride.
This saves me a cool ~$275/month!
nice to see that the one beneficial thing I had (easy access to work) during my rotation has now been canceled out.
