Metrol lines in Changzhou and China

Metro lines in China (along with Taiwan and Hong Kong) are being built at an incredible rate. Before 1990, they could be found in just three cities--Beijing, first opening in 1969; Hong Kong in 1979, and Tianjin in 1984.  Growth was stagnant for many years in the past, but has become exponentially more rapid over time and now over the rest of the world's progress.  In just the thirty years from 1990 to 2020, the number of cities with a metro system will grow from those original three to over forty--with more to come soon after.

中国的地铁线路（与台湾和香港）正以令人难以置信的速度建造。1990年以前，他们可以在北京的三个城市找到，首先是在1969年开业；1979年在香港，1984年是天津。曾经一段时间经济增长缓慢，但后来随着时间的推移呈指数级增长，现在让世界其他地区的增长相形见绌。在1990年至2020年的短短三十年里，拥有地铁系统的城市数量将从原来的3个增加到40个以上，不久之后还会有更多的城市。

Beijing and Shanghai in particular have ballooned from nearly nothing into the world’s two largest, in both length and annual ridership. The timeline of their expansion alone is mesmerizing

北京和上海，尤其是从无到有，再到年均乘客量和长度都是世界上最大的两个。扩张的时间表令人赞叹。
