Subway Chinglish


Line 2 seems to have several new public service announcements from the "Urban Mass Transportation Branch Shanghai Public Security Bureau." This is the second good Chinglish sign from them. I'm expecting to find some more.

That's just it - there are SO many people that speak English so well! A small mistake is no big deal, but these signs....

I think they have actually taken them down though. On Sunday I noticed that almost every spot was empty and I did not see a single sign. They could have been embarrassed by it.
