I'm pretty sure it's nation wide. All the foreign employees at my workplace in Shandong were also required to go to the bank and present two IDs to reactivate their accounts. However, we were not sure if it was targeting foreigners or not. I suspected it might have had something to do with our cards not having the gold security chips on them (the new ones do).
Is there any information available on when construction of lines 4 and 5 are supposed to start and end?
How about those other five dozen lines that were recently approved. Are they really going to build them? I'm wondering if after line 3 opens they just give up for a while due to lack of funding.
Thanks for the map and the new link.
What exactly is the problem with the www?
Do you know where I can find a larger version of the subway map from that link/ Its' one of the few I've seen that combines a satellite map with the subway layout.
That's a pretty good article, even though it's quite old. It also has a good summary of the transit system development in general.
It seems to be pretty hard to access that article though. I even with VPN, I had to use the cached version to see it.

Black carbon and women's health in rural Yunnan
Posted byI have heard of several cases of older people becoming brain damaged from burning those round charcoal coal pellets for heat in the winter. Apparently they are toxic as hell.
Welcome to the new GoKunming!
Posted byThe new GoKunming is a disorganised mess. Maybe it's because I'm not viewing it on a 52" monitor at 3192x2048, or maybe it's because I'm not using a touch device. I'm sure there must be improvements in here somewhere, but I'm not benefiting from them at all. This new site is different for sure, but certainly not better.

Truncated subway Line 1 to open New Year's Eve
Posted byHa. The subway extensions in Toronto are not a mere 4 years late, more like 30 years late! They've been talking about building a subway line along eglinton ave since the 80s. Toronto is pretty pathetic in this regard. They call themselves world class yet don't even have a subway connection to the airport. This is part of the reason I came to China: commitment to public transport and bicycle friendly.
I'm impressed that the construction of the subway in Kunming continues without major delay. It's just a damn shame that the Kunming-Dali HSR is on ice, I was really looking forward to that one. It was originally supposed to be completed last year.
