For reference, cities with underground railway system under construction and to be completed with in a few years:
Over half a billion bicycles should rate a mention in this section, as well as the historical policies. As I mentioned in the 'Environment of China' discussion, before (about) 1980 I think you needed a special permit to have a privately-owned vehicle. If someone could substantiate this, that would be great. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.238.161.204 ( talk) 16:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
If there is sidewalks on both sides of the way: Are you allowed to ride on the one that goes against the main traffic flow? Etc. Stalkerkun ( talk) 11:51, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
Might be able to find a relevant place to slide all this information in. -- 李博杰 | — Talk contribs email 17:38, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
here's not a word on transport or road safety in this article, nor in the articles Expressways of China or China National Highways. I don't know enough about the subject to initiate much, but I believe it is a serious omission. New article, anyone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.21.193.54 ( talk) 01:27, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
The 3 transportation maps used in the article need an update. Currently, a part of PRC - Mailand China, the maps also display territories not under control of the PRC. It's ok if I put Taiwan networks out of the maps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.232.244.188 ( talk) 12:14, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Since multiple pages are involved, one multi-request should have been made. Moved this and renamed the destination as a disambiguation. UtherSRG (talk) 03:51, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Transport in the People's Republic of China →
Transport in China
Consistency move in line with the previous PRC->China move. All
incoming links to the current
Transport in China refer to the country of
China (formerly PRC) and not any of the other places on the dab page currently at that title. This would have been nominated as a technical move but there are a small minority of editors who oppose moves of this type because they disagreed with the PRC->China move. –

I propose adding data on costs and benefits from the Oxford China Study. Please note I am a co-author of the cited publication. I therefore kindly suggest that another editor takes a look at my proposed edit to check and verify that it’s okay and to execute it if it is. If it is not okay, kindly let me know how I can improve it, many thanks. 163.1.94.222 ( talk) 17:19, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I have tried to re-enter the content regarding economic benefits of China's transport infrastructure. I believe I have entered this correctly now. My suggestion is to add data on costs and benefits from the Oxford China Study. Please note I am a co-author of the cited publication. I therefore kindly suggest that another editor takes a look at my proposed edit to check and verify that it’s okay and to execute it if it is. If it is not okay, kindly let me know how I can improve it, many thanks.

A 2016 study from University of Oxford's Saïd Business School argues that over half of the infrastructure investments in China have destroyed, not generated economic value. The study – authored by Atif Ansar, Bent Flyvbjerg, Alexander Budzier and Daniel Lunn – is based on an analysis of 95 large Chinese road and rail transport projects and 806 transport projects built in rich democracies, the largest dataset of its kind. ‘From our sample, the evidence suggests that for over half of the infrastructure investments in China made in the last three decades the costs are larger than the benefits they generate, which means the projects destroy economic value instead of generating it,’ comments Dr Atif Ansar, co-author of the study.

I am referring particularly to this sentence: "Airports, roads, and railway construction will provide a massive employment boost in China over the next decade." When was this even written? Is this based on some kind of official projection? If so, by whom and when? This needs to be made clear in the article. Thanks. Bambi'nin annesi ( talk) 20:42, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
