What's new

How do you Chinese view the rapid development of the past 35 years?

BeiJing traffic looks still okay, but other major Chinese cities traffic too crowded there.

The great achievement of China 35-year development, it's from Kingdom of Bicycles to Kingdom of Automobiles. Just from one HELL go to another HELL traffic ... :devil:

I have three cars but can't drive any to work in Lujiazui, too troublesome, I mostly take metro or rent-a-driver (e.g. Uber, 滴滴专车), only drive at nights or holidays for fun. Luckily China also become a Kingdom of metros/HSR!

So for commuting, please use public transport. Automobiles are for leisure, shopping, country tour, dating hot chicks, and sports, enjoy bros!

Cars return home from BeiJing expressway ... even in my hometown city the roads full of private cars, each time we need spending 1 hour in the car to go outside for dinner, too many cars & holiday traffic so bad.
Better public transport is the only solution, we cannot learn from USA.
Connection from railway/bus/airport to tourist sites is still weak.

The car selling in China will continue cheaper & more ... now had surpassed U.S as world 1st biggest automobile market, Ford & Volkswagen car sales in China more than their local market. I say right now nothing can stop Chinese's wheel life, the only solution is to build more expressways, widen roads in city and more parking lots.

Japanese have more cars per 1000 people, but they have excellent public transport system.
More than 90% people in Tokyo use public transport to work. Not a single city in China can match 90%.
 
More jams in china wil make people rethinking about personal vehicle and public trasport.In my opinion,cars become more luxury and lower its convient in chinese huge city nowaday.Buying car is my last option for my life.:coffee:

Growing connectedness through affordable and modern public transportation will in time make people change their view on private ownership of a car, I guess. Especially in big cities.

Government can't ignore highways just to stunt personal car ownership, but, definitely more effort should be dedicated to further improve and expand China's public transportation system (HSR, light rail and green bus).

In high-density country like Japan, rich people choose Shinkansen, poor people drive.

Well said, I use Metro for weekdays commuting though I own two and a half cars (the half one is for sports only, doesn't even have road license).

In urban-transport planning, Shanghai is developing more like that of Tokyo, Hong Kong. Very hi-density along Metro grid, very lo-density otherwise.
