Shenshan Highway jams

I am not impressed by the Shenshan Expressway (深汕高速公路), it is no longer very express.  It took me over 9 hours from Guangzhou to Shantou yesterday, where it usually takes 5 1/2.  It was crawling all the way down.  A tip for our transport managers: MAKE THE RAILWAY DIRECT, AND PUT MORE TRAINS ON.  Grr.

I don’t want to hear any excuses about it being nearly New Year.  In a few years it’ll be like that every day.

  1. It’s always a problem at this time of the year. You may also be shocked when taking the train, although it might be on time, but I doubt there will be some spaces for breathing.

    9 hour, errr….it’s tough!

  2. Please note the MORE TRAINS ON comment

  3. Er…Actually I fed up with that trip from GZ 2 CY as well…especially in the new year time…
    I have heard that there will be a speed line from SZ 2 ST, AND it just takes 2 hrs…if there is one from GZ it would be great!!!
