Subway
The Beijing Subway has 15 lines, 192 stations and 372 km of track in operation. It is the oldest subway in mainland China. Among the world's metro systems, the Beijing Subway ranks fourth in track length after the metros of Shanghai, London and Seoul.
Despite the rapid expansion, the existing network cannot adequately meet the city's mass transit needs and extensive expansion plans call for 19 lines and over 703 km of track in operation by 2015 and 1,050 km by 2020. The network is set to reach 420 km (260 mi) by the end of 2012.

There's a lot to learn from all these East Asian countries - Japan, Korea, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, or Indonesia even Thailand as well. Good job by the Chinese. Bangladesh should ensure that trade and travel to and from Chinese cities like Kunming, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, is eased.

As a Beijinger I can't help but wondering where is beijin?
It only needs time, my friend.
Twenty years ago China has nothing to compare with Japan\Taiwan\S.Korean.
