Talk:Transport in China

message: 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)
replies: text: Yes the lack of a substantial discussion of cycling, historical and present, renders this article sub-standard. I hope to get back to it - but please don't wait. Pedalissimo (talk) 20:43, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  The article also lacks any information about REGULATION. I.e: If you drive legally on a bike, where can you drive it? Going by global regulations is non existing, there is no givens existing. Some places sidewalks are legal. Some places(mostly adaption of British law) Sidewalk biking is illegal because its regulated like a Horse carriage. In Japan "illegal in sidewalk except where indicated by shared sidewalk signs" and "unless really in slow pace".
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)
thread_title: Bicycle should have its own section

message: *Shai Oster, August 24, 2010, Beijing: World’s Biggest Parking Lot, Wall Street Journal
**Beijing will have 7 Million vehicles by 2015 
**Beijing ranked top in the world for "commuter pain", according to IBM study 
**Study shows Beijing traffic worst in world 
**Example of near worse-case scenario 
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)
thread_title:  Road transportation problems in Beijing 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Transport safety 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Maps 

message: 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.

replies: text: Hi there. The content proposed should not be entered into the article itself - I have reverted your edit. Relisting the content here. Do not try and add the content to the article again - it will be reviewed here, and, if it passes, another editor will implement the suggested changes. Regards, VB00 (talk) 15:05, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Some of the proposed content is quite promotional (such as the "largest dataset of its kind", without anything to back that up), and may give undue weight to some aspects, especially talking about the authors of the study themselves (such information should not be mentioned in the text). Overall, the proposed text provides far too many claims without any other sources to back it up, and should not be implemented in its current form. Request declined.

thread_title: Economic Benefits

message: 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)
