According to Guangzhou Metro Corp, Guangzhou subways will be offered free ride for the athletes, officials from different countries, working staff and audience with game tickets during the 2010 Asian Games.
With seven new subway lines under construction, Guangzhou Metro has taken on the responsibilities of ensuring smooth transportation during the upcoming Asian Games. Eighty percent of the 2010 Asian Games venues will be connected to the convenient subway lines when Guangzhou hosts the grand event.
