New regulation prohibits consumption of food, drink in Beijing subway cars

Beijing's transportation commission released a new regulation on Wednesday barring passengers from eating or drinking on the subway in a move intended to create a more comfortable space for travelers.

Uncivilized behavior, such as selling products or playing loud music, are also banned under the regulation.

Violations will be included in the passenger's credit record, and the person could be forbidden from taking the subway in the future, the commission said.
