Eating, drinking to be banned on all subways

050Eating and drinking on the subway has long been a contentious issue in China. While many have expressed annoyance at the scent and sight of food and wrappers in train cars, quite a few also support the right to munch on snacks during long commutes to work or school.
 

The debate recently arrived at its final destination when the Ministry of Transport introduced a new regulation last week that bars passengers nationwide, with exceptions for infants and people with certain medical conditions, from eating or drinking in subway cars.

052The policy is scheduled to take effect on April 1 along with a raft of new conduct rules that will forbid subway riders from playing music or videos on speakers, lying down or stepping on seats, the ministry said, without specifying punishments.

053Before the nationwide crusade against subway snacking, a few cities — including Beijing; Shenzhen, Guangdong province and Nanjing, Jiangsu province — introduced similar measures prohibiting consumption of food and drink in subway cars.
