What is the difference between Wuhan Metro and Shanghai Metro? Why do so many people say Wuhan Metro is rubbish?

There is this saying, whether it is appropriate or not, that is, "Shanghai people look down on outsiders, and Wuhan people look down on people from the countryside." From this point of view, both places are flawed. But the poster asked about the gap between Wuhan and Shanghai. I think the development of any region has its own advantages and disadvantages, which is also related to the country's policy support for it. First of all, Wuhan is a provincial capital city (sub-provincial city), a municipality directly under the central government of Shanghai, and the largest city in China. Speaking of big characters, people will think of "Great Wuhan" and "Great Shanghai", which are closely related to the history of the two cities. Wuhan is one of the megacities with the longest history of urban construction in China and is the source of southern Chinese culture. In modern times, Wuhan was a dock culture, while Shanghai was China's economic, technological, industrial, financial, trade, exhibition and shipping center. Shanghai has a long history, with a history of more than 3,000 years. Both cities have played important roles in modern times, and there is no difference in this regard. It can only be said that Shanghai’s economic accumulation is richer and stronger. The gap between Wuhan and Shanghai is qualitative. Basically, there are no indicators that exceed Shanghai. Wuhan has many fields that surpass Guangzhou, such as science and education, large industry, independent innovation and high technology, local business enterprises, Fortune 500 companies, the newly approved financial third board, etc. Wait, the Wuhan government represents the characteristics of the inland government. No matter what it does, it should raise the flag first and exaggerate the big things. If the effect is not achieved, we will talk about it later. Anyway, it is a long-term view. People in Shanghai have a stronger awareness of rights protection. Wuhan's urban planning is still not very good. There are potholes everywhere, and the infrastructure is not as complete and excellent as Shanghai's. Currently, Shanghai is a first-tier city, while Wuhan is in the 1.5th tier, which is the transitional stage between the second tier and the first tier. Wuhan is also seeking its own development, and it has made great changes in recent years. Comparing Wuhan with Shanghai, The difference lies in GDP. One is firmly ranked first in the country, while the other is ranked between 13th and 15th in the country. Not to mention other things, Shanghai now ranks first in the world with 12 subway lines and a length of 420 kilometers. What about Wuhan? After so many years of construction of subways and light rails, how many lines and kilometers are they open to traffic? The daily passenger flow of Shanghai subway is 6 to 7 million, which is second only to Tokyo, Japan in terms of passenger flow in the world! In Shanghai after the World Expo, the roads have been renovated and the elevated highways are beautifully painted. Wuhan looks messy in every aspect. A subway line was opened at the end of last year. Of course, Wuhan can first follow the example of Guangzhou and Shenzhen and seek its own breakthrough development. As I mentioned before, in the eyes of most Chinese people, they think that "Shanghai people look down on outsiders". Shanghai people are stingy and look down on people from other places. They even think that people from other places are country people. I believe that there are many people in Shanghai when it comes to Everyone has this impression, but the soft environment in Shanghai is still better than that in Wuhan. Wuhan’s taxis have only improved in recent years. Before, it was a pain. People on the Internet say that the quality of people in Wuhan is poor, which is also a problem that hinders the development of Wuhan, because most Shanghainese people are indeed honest and true to their word, so they like to do business with Shanghainese in the business field, and they are deceived. The probability is very small, which is exactly in contrast to the impression we Hubei guys give to the outside world. Secondly, in terms of international and domestic influence and popularity, there is still a gap between Wuhan and Shanghai. Shanghai’s international influence and popularity are only comparable to Beijing in China! Of course, this can only be said that Shanghai in modern history was indeed a place where storms gathered, which made it such a powerful place now. International organizations, major conferences and activities such as the APEC meeting and the Shanghai World Expo have increased Shanghai's international and domestic influence. 70% of the Chinese headquarters of multinational companies are located in Shanghai. Of course, the former is closely related to the country's policy support. There is a correlation, and the latter depends on Shanghai's own conditions. Some netizens also said that compared with Wuhan, Shanghai is a "superpower" and the other is a "development country", but development is an opportunity. The development prospects of Wuhan should not be underestimated. The gap between Wuhan and Shanghai is indeed a bit big at this stage, but they are still developing. As a Chinese, of course I hope that more cities will become like Shanghai, including Wuhan. There is also a phenomenon that some people just refuse to realize the gap between Wuhan and Shanghai, and always seek to compare with second-tier cities like Changsha and Zhengzhou. This is wrong and can be said to be scary, because whether you know them or not , the gap is always there, we must correctly understand the gap. It’s also wrong to say that Shanghai is better than Wuhan, just because everyone thinks everything is good, and that creates an inferiority complex.

Compared with Shanghai, Wuhan does lack money. Just like Shanghai's maglev, Shanghai can build it, but Wuhan's subway is progressing slowly. This is not because Wuhan has no money. This is also related to policy support. We can see the "Pudong Myth" and the current "Rise of Central China" plan. In recent years, the country has implemented the "Rise of Central China" plan. I believe Wuhan will take advantage of this opportunity to vigorously develop and seek Self-breakthrough. By conducting PK appropriately, you can know your own pros and cons and develop better, but you cannot be immersed in it all the time. No matter Shanghai or Wuhan, no matter who is stronger or slightly better, they all belong to China. As long as there is no gap in patriotism, everything is fine.
