during rush hour. there are the times when you have to avoid cups of coffee that could spill (溅) on you. the smells of some passengers food are very strong, too.according to the beijing subway passenger regulations, which went into effect on may 15th, passengers except babies and the sick are no longer allowed to eat or drink on the subway. violators (违规者) who do not stop after being asked to will be asked to get off. the violation will also be recorded in the violators credit record.some support the rule. the reason is that the smell of food and drink can annoy other passengers. “the smell of food fills the carriage, causing people discomfort, especially in the hot summer. besides, eating on the subway produces rubbish. and on the subway, people often spill their drinks，” said zheng yiou, 17, a student from hefei.however, others question this rule. “some citizens live so far from their work places that they have limited time to have breakfast before they go to work. eating while they travel saves them time and decreases the chance that they will be late for work，” he songlin, a 17yearold student from chengdu said. “and some people, like those with low blood sugar levels, get sick if they cant eat when they must.”other chinese cities like nanjing and chengdu have similar regulations. some foreign cities also ban eating and drinking on the subway. for example, eating and drinking have long been banned on the subway in washington, dc. singapore fines people who eat or drink on the subway up to 500 singapore dollars.chen yanyan, a professor from beijing university of technology, believed we should consider the need of some people to eat or drink on the subway. “commuters (上班族) and travelers are sometimes too busy to eat. maybe we could learn from
