Today a large amount of people use subway and the fare is affordable. But there is another problem for the traffic today is more and more cars in the city, over 400 new cars flow into the city everyday because more people buying their cars. Driving in GZ is really a tough job!

Actually, come to think of it, my trip was in April 2000, not 1999. My mistake.
And traffic can be pretty tough. I remember in my trip 1 year ago, I was stuck in a taxi at night once. I don't know where I was stuck. I just remember that it took a long time to get past that area.
Also, I remember almost immediately after I came back to New York, I read something in the New York Times about Guangzhou. It was something about the city banning all motorcycles and motorized scooters because of thieves using motorcycles to steal purses. Is that still in effect?
