The NYC subway has excellent station density and runs 24/7. Meanwhile the Chengdu public transit network starts closing down at 8 PM in some areas and by 10 PM it's closing city-wide. The subway coverage isn't great but it's still under construction so it has an excuse.

Don't worry, decades of deferred upkeep and postponed critical upgrades and spending cuts will probably cut 24 hour service soon, probably due to a terrible accident.

In Seoul, Taipei and Bangkok you can find a bar open all night but those trains stop running around midnight, maybe a bit later depending on which stations you're going between. Taipei and Seoul at least have great networks and the Bangkok one is about as good as you can expect but man it kills me that they close so early.

Haier posted:This is one of the weirdest things to me about China. In cities full of tens of millions of people, there should be absolutely no reason the trains and buses stop so early. I've noticed that in SZ at least, none of the train operators are over the age of like 23. I wonder if they close them so early because they can't find anyone stay awake past their bedtime. Because it's not public transportation, it's get the cogs to their factories for industrial output transportation. They don't give a gently caress about providing services to improve the lives of citizens. Everything in Chengdu is closed by like 8/9 PM so other than expat bars and KTVs there's no reason to be out anyway.

I still don't understand why Seoul shuts down their subways around midnight. It becomes an awkward timing dance when you're out late. You either: (a) Plan to start and finish early, and somehow get to the subway before 23:30. (b) Try to find a taxi driver that's willing to drive you (i.e. they are looking for fares that lead them close to home) between 1 ~ 3 AM. (c) Drink until you run out of cash, then hang out in front of a GS25 eating instant noodles and drinking soju out of paper cups until the subway starts running again.

Oh come on Haier you pointed out yourself that the mentality in china is everyone does stuff at a certain time. Everyone eats around the same time, wheres their coats till its officially spring etc. makers perfect sense that after dinner its time to close. Also not be all weird but I had a crazy dream you were the new doobie running a kick starter to open a hot dog house in india and genesplicer was shilling for you.....in my defense I was on some medication last night.

An interesting and plausible theory I've heard is that the Taxi Driver unions have a big influence in keeping the railways from operating after hours. They've also managed to completely block Uber from operating in the country

You know in that scene in every kung fu flick where suddenly there is a gang of men with just the most random weapons (but they are all carrying the same weapon, i.e.: billiards sticks or something) that seem completely non sequitur. Well, now I get it thanks to the video "one stool man"

Obviously they could do a complicated schedule that only shuts the lines they are working on, but then it gets really confusing for the commuters and emergency maintenance would break the schedule anyways.
