Aula #15 - China Bans Eating and Drinking on Subways

China is banning eating, drinking and other impolite behaviors on subways from April 2020.

China Daily reports that the government will also ban standing on seats, playing music on speakers and lying down on the nation's trains. However, young children and people with some medical conditions will still be allowed to eat.

There are 33 cities in China with subways, including Shanghai, Shenzhen, Wuhan and Qingdao. This is the first time that the government has made subway rules for the whole country.

Some cities already have their own rules about what people can and can't do on the subway. Beijing banned food and drink on its subways in 2015, and anyone who eats or drinks has to pay 500 yuan (around $70).

Wuhan banned eating and drinking on its subways in 2013. Some local people are still not happy about it, however. Chen Xiang­ru told news website AsiaOne that local people enjoy eating the city's famous hot dry noodles "while walking, riding a bus, taking a taxi or even on boats," and the smell of eating on the subway would not be a problem for her.

However, Zhang Han, a 26-year-old government employee, supports the new rule. She told AsiaOne that because subways are public spaces that don't have very good ventilation, all food should be banned, even if it doesn't smell.

China has 4,600 kilometers of subway, with 669 kilometers in Shanghai, 617 in Beijing and 473 in Guangzhou.
