Shanghaiist has drawn attention to an alternative map of the Shanghai Metro. But before we go there, here is the definitive map of the Shanghai Metro - schematically arranged like the London underground map. There is a Chinese version as well!
You can drag it around to find the part you want, and search in English or Chinese using the drop down menu in the top left, click ona station to find the first and last trains, and even find the time taken and price between two stations.
And if that is not enough there is all you ever wanted to know about the Shanghai Metro on the blog
And for the truly memorable version of the metro map you can look at this:
I am a Roman hash gangster = Shanghai Metro anagrams and see it here. All the same functions - train times, time taken, cost are available, meaning the names are bound to stick.
Shanghaiist tells us that similar anagram versions of the London tube map have been made but threatened with legal action and closed down. Transport for London censors anagram Tube map and follow links for the latest storage place of the illegal version. Such a shame.
