Transit System of Guangzhou

Above, One of the entrances of Metroline; below, the basement corridor leading to metroline is found homeless couped up, perhaps their last bastion for a warmer hold out.
Below, relatively easy to use ticketing machine. In this case, the chip and farecard systems are both used.

Good lighting and clearly defined graphic illustration help all newcomers to use the metroline with easy and convinience. One noteworthy, all English translation is up to par with standard English. Bravo, Guangzhou, you have done it a lot better than the so-called internationally oriented Shanghai.

Below, see how I watch over and undertand the illustration...so easy to use, so easy to understand.

Below, "Please line up, Exit first and Enter after".

Above, this is a bit overkill for too much commercial interference on the glass wall.

Below, finally one hilarious translation is found...

This should be: Notice to all Passengers: To personally top up your farecards, all passengers please go to the top up locations of Yangcheng Transit Company. Thank your for your cooperations!

Below, this is a great graphic in three dimensional that clearly all ages could easily comprehend their relative locations of arriving metro station.

Some other dos and don'ts around metro line.
