Shanghai Metro passengers can now access free transport and entertainment info at major Metro stations, now that the Shanghai Metro Guide has launched. The pilot scheme allows users to send a station code to a free number: 10658028. A website address is sent back and tells you close by bus lines, maps, shopping centers and restaurants. Sounds like you would need a slightly more advanced phone to use this service, but it should be a super useful addition to the city come World Expo time. Source: Shanghai Daily more ›
