No food, drinks, or bikes on the Shanghai subway?

If for all these years, they haven't been able to get rid of those travel company card tossers (no pun intended), how could they REALLY enforce a food ban? I walked in no problem this morning on the way to Bamboo for Hockey with 3 baozis. No one even flinched.

Then again, I also didn't toss the empty plastic bag onto the floor when I was finished. Doubt the card tossers can claim that.

The food/drinks is not a problem. Shoot, I've sipped a beer or two on my long journeys from home to Ren Min Guang Chang on line 8. I agree with banning parents from holding their kids above a garbage bin in the subway while the kid does his/her business. Also kids squatting on the ground. If you ban folding bikes, then they'll lose part of their value as a "folding bike." I would like to fine people a minimum of 200 rmb for skipping the queue upon the arrival of a train! Ban Beggars! I've also seen a few people puff a cigarette while changing lines. Ban that crap!!! I'd also like to advocate for the subway system to operate 24 hrs a day! I'm from New York City where our subways operate 24 hrs. I know it's China, but this place is much safer at night than NYC. Even one train per hour is fine! Oh my, it's time for dinner!

westman: Actually Yao Ming was bred. His father and mother were on the Chinese national basketball team, and before they were even acquainted were forced to marry each other and get to making a basketball super-baby. No lie.

I've heard that theory about Yao before- but here's where it falls down: he's an only child.

This "theory" is supported by quotes from the parents and has been published in Time Magazine and Sports Illustrated.

Why wouldn't they make the parents have more than 1 kid?

The only safe place to go road biking at speed is around century park at night if you dont live in Pudong as I did your shafted in that respect if you can't use the tube.

Simple action is to go to the front or back of the train and lean it agains the wall thus not impeding anyone; anyone with common sense would do it e.g. me and all my roadie and MB buddies; how ever not the other 99.999% of tube users.

Local commie thinking in Shanghai, screw all grass roots sport and bury it under concrete. Yao Ming and Liu Xiang where freak accidents of nature which were bound to occur in a city this big.

This is why I moved back to Hangzhou.

how about a rule banning children from peeing in the middle of the floor on Shanghai's subway trains? Or banning said childrens' parents from applauding such behavior? (both of which i have witnessed on multiple occasions).

It's a pain in the arse. How often do you see people eating or drinking on the subway anyway? If it's not a problem, I don't see any point in making it one.

What they should ban is people transporting 300 cardboard boxes and clogging up the doors. I've seen that more than a few times.
