Shenzhen opens first tram line

Shenzhen opened its first tram line over the weekend to help ease traffic pressure. Stretching 11.7 kilometers, the line has 20 stops and passes through Shenzhen's most populated areas including the Longhua Trade Zone. Each tram car can carry up to 350 passengers, about two to three times the capacity of a bus, according to a source from the Shenzhen Xiandai Tramcar Co, the service provider.
