Take Shanghai for example, there are approximately 300,000 taxis, not to say of an ever increasing number of private cars.

Meanwhile, although the highway and railway transportation system has already taken shape in Shanghai, the car accidents have never decreased significantly. Cars frequently get stuck even on vaulted highways. The promise of eliminating all sorts of traffic problems seems difficult to fulfill. Yet with reasonable planning and with the establishment of the related policy and regulations, the problem is likely to be alleviated. Unit ThreeIII.
