WANTED: Transportation stories from Xi’an and Shanghai

EMBARQ - The WRI Center for Sustainable Transport - is gathering stories to share along with its city profiles.

Here’s an example of a story about commuting from a local shoe-shiner who lives in Mexico City:

We are currently in need of anecdotes about day-to-day transportation and mobility for XI’AN and SHANGHAI.

Do you have anything to contribute?

Some questions to ponder:

• How has traffic in Xi’an or Shanghai changed over the past 1 year? 5 years? 10 years?
• As an outsider, what are your impressions of mobility and transportation in big Chinese cities?
• As a Chinese local, what is your average commute like?
• How does transportation affect pollution in Xi’an or Shanghai?
• Do the poor and the wealthy have the same access to transportation corridors?
• Do you have any examples of sustainable transportation, such as bicycling or bus rapid transit?
