Shanghai Metro Etiquette

Shanghai metro etiquette (there is none)

It is well known in the civilised world that you should let people get off a train before you get on. This system works particularly well on the London Underground in the main.

In Shanghai as far as I can see it is considered impolite to leave a metro, how dare you not want to stay on the glorious fast expanding modern metro system. It is for this reason that no one under any circumstances will let anyone get off the metro.

At least the metro is one place where spitting is not allowed (nor "jumping into the tunnel")
