Ever since China opened up to the world in 1980's, the Shanghai Municipal Government, led by the Communist Party of China and the State Council, makes great effort to build the city into an international economic, financial, trade and shipping center. With the cooperation and hardwork of Shanghai people, the city is progressing to its goal as a global metropolitan. The new team of leaders of the Shanghai government took office in February 2003. "The power of the government is entrusted by the people; the interest of people is above all," as Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng promise in his inaugural. Guided by the Shanghai Party Committee, the city's new leadership vows to strictly perform its official duties; to make significant progress in self-improvement, and to intensify the shift of its role from administrative to public service. The Shanghai government will build itself into a service government that would share with the people all their happiness and troubles; a solid responsible government that is efficient, honest and diligent; a law-abiding government that respects legal system and rules strictly and impartially.

On July 1st, an activity called¡°Sign to become passengers with decent behavior¡±, participated by more then ten thousand passengers, and was held in Rail Traffic Line 1,2,3,5 and Meg-lev Line. More than ten thousand passengers signed solemnly their names and promised to¡°Be good passengers. Let others go first and guarantee the orderliness in rail traffic lines.¡±

It is reported that the average number of rail traffic passengers in Shanghai is over 1.3 million. However, some passengers have such bad habits as littering, damaging card, not buying tickets and trying as much as possible to get a seat. All these are not in accordance with our city image. Starting from this year, many rail traffic lines have organized activities to promote decent behavior such as queuing in line. Let those who get off go first and give off your seats. Right now, in the eight terminal stations in Rail Traffic Line 1,2,3,5 and other big stations like People¡¯s Square and Shanghai Railway Station, traffic is getting orderly.

¡°Passenger Booklet For Rail Traffic¡±was published for the first time yesterday. The booklet will be delivered to local citizens for free. Passengers can find useful information about lines, stops, surrounding bus stops, stores, scenic spots, ticket prices and consulting telephone. With this booklet, passengers will have no worry while taking rail traffic at all.
