In a world of instant messaging, round-the-clock fast food and same day delivery online shopping, we're all probably becoming more impatient by the day. And never are we more impatient than when it comes to waiting for the metro.
Luckily, Shanghai's transport authorities have released a revamped metro service intervals schedule detailing the approximate waiting times between trains for each of the 14 metro lines.
'Highlights' include a dreamy minimum wait of two and a half minutes during morning peak hours on Line 4 and an even shorter two minutes 15 seconds on Line 6. We recommend you avoid using Line 16 and Line 3 towards the end of operating hours as you could be in it for the long haul.
It's the table you've all been waiting for, and we dare not delay in giving it to you! So here it is in all its spreadsheet glory:
