Subway car, Shanghai
Public transportation is one of my favorite things to explore when I'm travelling. The other day I had tea with a friend who's husband asked her to take a cab from the airport to the hotel when she was visiting Frankfurt. She took the train. We both feel that it's one of the better ways to begin to learn a city, and she told me that the train went practically to her hotel's doorstep.In Incheon, I bought a ticket to take a bus into the center of town. I ended up not using it, as I ran out of time in the country (I had hoped to see a friend in Seoul for coffee before heading back to New York). Last week I had dinner with some former co-workers and mentioned that I had hoped to see the new statue of King Sejong that had been unveiled. I told a friend I had bought a ticket to go into the city and she asked to see it. She told me that if I had taken the bus I would have disembarked practically right in front of it. She was surprised I knew who King Sejong was, and I confessed that I had read an article about him on the occasion of the statue's unveiling while on the airplane.

Belle composition et beau noir et blanc !
I like train photos too. In such a public place everyone seems lost in their own private world.
theys: merci boucoup! et merci pour votre visite!
focuss: i agree. there's something amazing about watching people while they're between places.
Wow what a great shot with a lot of details! Great atmosphere and well composed!
this is an awesome shot! when i visit shanghai, i like to ride the subway more than taking the cab as well. nice treatment in mono!
Thanks Laurens + Liang. One of the things I like to do when I come back from travelling is to take the subway back into the city as well. It's great to immerse myself back into the city.
Great photo! There is something eye-catching about the women in the ad on the side of the subway and the man waiting.
yeah. it almost looks like the woman is look at the man in front of the doors. not sure what the man behind him is looking at. probably his ifone. :p
