A friend sent me a link to a Tianya forum post about plans for Shanghai’s 2020 metro system:

Shanghai already has a very nice metro system (it’s supposed to handle 3 million daily); and is the third largest in the world in terms of length of track. Anyone who rides it in the morning will tell you that the major lines are far from ideal, though sardine style people packing probably provides a measure of safety [I cheat and live absurdly close to work.]

The map uses Shanghainese romanizations for several place names (Lohkatsy, Zaanhai, Phuton) rather than a standard Mandarin Pinyin. Linguistic regionalism is supported by design firms? Some might respond that an expanded metro system is wishful thinking. Nonsense – more stimulus!
