We can see that there is no big traffic, public transport, cars, motorbikes and bikes. There is also an elevated pedestrial path. 2. Invisible information: Judging by the picture you can think that it is no a very congested area and that the elevated pedestrian path is not necesary, but it is not true. The picture is taken at 13:00 hours on monday, lunch time but in the rush hours the road is always crowded and the elevated pedestrian path became the best alternative for those who came to work using public transport. Usually there are lots of motorbikes and bikes but this morning it was raining so in order to avoid the slippery roads many shanghaineses prefer to take public transport and the buses in the picture are full even if Shanghai railway station (also subway station) is 200 meters from here. Zhabei is known for the hi-tech and creative industries and many people work in this area. 3. Knowledge: When in Shanghai starts to rain the traffic becames a nightmare. I think they could learn from this and those days increase the number of buses and the frecuency of the public transport.
