  1. No more freezing aircon in the #BeijingSubway. We say it's time. (It's winter.) Reports tell us those on Line 4 are *especially* vicious...
  2. In terms of the #weather, look for temperatures hovering just below 0°C (32°F) tonight-ish. Bundle up warm!
  3. Quickie here: @Beijingology will only post BIG Beijing Subway-related news. (And other non-Subway tweets.) @MobileMetro will be all-Subway.
  4. #BeijingSubway Line 15 opens Dec 28, 2010 for the section between Wangjing West (望京西, change to Line 13) and Houshayu (后沙峪).
  5. [Subway] Xizhimen: Line 13 folks going back to Line 2 less affected. All passengers advised to follow signs at all times. [End update]
  6. [Subway] Xizhimen: Line 2 passengers all exit using southern side hall and then choose their exit. Major delays thru reroutes expected.
  7. [Subway] Xizhimen: Queues too much?Reroute Line 2 to Yonghegong; 5 to Huixinxijie Nankou; 10 to Zhichunlu; then you're on Line 13! (More...)
  8. [Subway] Xizhimen interchange remixed; Line 2 side halls now unidirectional. Northern side hall entrance only. (More coming soon.)
  9. [Line 1] Exit C at Tian'anmen East station will be without escalators or disabled support March 17, 2009 - April 17, 2009. Use other exits.
  10. New McDonald's open just outside exit B, Dongsi Line 5 station. (If you must.) It's # B-528 Dongsi North Street (東四北大街 乙528 號); open 24/7.
  11. [Wiki] Beijingology, Tianjinology wikis to get DreamHost server move within about 60 hours' time. Shanghaiology unaffected. Glitches? Maybe.
  12. @sdweathers Enjoy Nanning. Was never there but will check it out for Guangxiology. ;-)
  13. Fellow Beijingologists -- we have a quick survey. Please help us out -- and retweet the love. Thank you! http://is.gd/lUFM
  14. [Beijing Super Pass / Yikatong] Feel free to use your Super Pass in WalMart for purchases you make there.
  15. [Subway Line 1] Line 1 gaps likely down to 2 minutes 15 seconds as of March; rush hour per-station stops cut by 2 seconds/station.
  16. [Subway Line 15] Same documents apparently confirm all of Line 15 as Xiyuan (near Yuanmingyuan) - Shunyi via northern Beijing; two phases.
  17. [Subway Line 15] It appears that official Planning Committee documents confirm that Phase I of Line 15 is Wangjing West - Shunyi.
  18. [Subway Line 8] Remainder of Phase II of Line 8 (which in full goes from Huilongguan to Meishuguan/Art Gallery) to open up by 2011.
  19. [Subway Line 10] Part of Line 10 (Jinsong - souther and western Beijing - Bagou) to open up by 2011.
  20. [Subway Line 6] Line 6 (Hujialou - Caofang, Chaoyang) open by 2011.
