Shanghai Street Traffic and Early Rail System Challenge
In Shanghai during peak hours the main streets overflow with handcarts, wheelbarrows, bicycles, rickshaws, and even horses, competing with a double-track street railway. Cars and carriages weave through the crowded lanes as British-built cars run a two-class, segmented fare system. First class seats 12, second class up to 20, with fares that push foreign riders toward the expensive section, yet first class use remains minimal, contributing only about five percent of daily revenue from roughly 38,000 passengers.
