State Council tells cities to focus on public transport
The State Council has told cities across China to make development of public transportation a priority.
Public transport should be the immediate concern in the development of urban transportation, and public transport - comprising rail transit, bus and tram systems - should be accelerated, according to a document released after a State Council executive meeting presided over by Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday.
Road conditions for cyclists and pedestrians should also be refined, it said.
