economy - Extention subway no. 3 operational

Shanghaiist points at this Xinhua report, announcing the start of the extention of subway line no.3 northbound with now a total of 29 stations.
That means a few nice trips when the weather is heating up a bit. The extention reduced the traveling time to Baoshan to about half an hour.
(It also brought the Shanghai Public Transportation blog by Micah Sittig on my radar screen.)
